CONTEST-WINNING GONE-ALL-DAY STEW

Contest-Winning Gone-All-Day Stew image

This healthy stew is one of my husband's favorite meals. I always use fresh mushrooms, and I toss low-sodium bouillon cubes right into the roaster...no dissolving first in liquid. No additional salt is necessary. -Patricia Kile, Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania
