FRENCH OVEN STEW

French Oven Stew image

This easy stew begins to thicken during the last hour of cooking. Very rich wonderful stew. I have been making this for a long time and cut it out of a magazine years ago. The last 20 minutes you can add some frozen peas or frozen beans if you would like. If useing fresh small baby onions, add an hour before stew is done. Update: I have made this stew in my crockpot and it has turned out perfect. I did stir it a couple times just to incorporate everything.

I found this recipe years ago (don't remember where) and it's my favorite beef stew recipe. I use low sodium tomato juice because otherwise it's just too salty.
