From the site:
Beef stew is total comfort food for me. When I was a kid, my mom would cook stew all day in the crock-pot and we would eat it with plain bread and butter. This is one of those recipes that I really love because it's very easy to make, it reminds me of my childhood and it makes the house smell so good. I love to cook the meat, onion, garlic, tomatoes and broth in the oven for about 4-5 hours then add the fresh vegetables and cook for another hour on the stove top. I serve with a tossed salad and fresh bread with butter. This is my daughters very favorite dinner and is a huge hit in our house - especially on cold and rainy days.

It's like lasagna (which means stew in Italian).No 2 people make it the same way and it's all good.

OMG, that looks so good, it's making me hungry.

Love stew - especially when the weather is cold. I saved the page - there is a marinara sauce recipe that also looks good.
