CALIFORNIA BEEF STEW
Pinched from The Good Housekeeping Cookbook given to me by my Mom in 1974. I've modified it to make it healthier. For a house with kids I would recommend cutting the stew meat smaller and only using 1lb.

[email protected]This stew was just okay. The beef was a bit tough and the vegetables were overcooked. The broth was also a bit bland. I probably won't be making this recipe again.
