Red Flannel Stew image

When I was a child, every Saturday night was red flannel night. Grandpa and I wore our red flannel long underwear to supper and Grandma, the cook, dressed in a long calico dress and sunbonnet. We'd eat this stew spooned over fluffy southern-style biscuits. Grandma learned to make the stew from earlier generations of our family. -Kathy Padgett, Diamond City, Arkansas

I love that this stew is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add a bit of chopped carrots and celery to mine.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover beef. I always have some leftover beef from my Sunday roast, and this is the perfect way to use it up.
