Comforting Beef Stew...just Like Grandma Used to Make image

My husband & I were feeling under the weather & longing for some comforting hot soup. I started craving my friend's grandmother's home made stew but couldn't get a hold of her, so I just threw together some ingredients that sounded good. My husband & I REALLY enjoyed it. I served it w/ hot home made bread. It truly satisfied our craving & did wonders for our cold.

This stew was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The beef was tough, and the vegetables were mushy. I think I may have overcooked it.
