Recipe Note
* My husband loves white rice as a base for this stew! Simply boil or microwave the rice. scoop the rice onto the bottom of the plate or wide bowl and then simply ladle the beef stew on top of the rice!
* Not a slow cooker recipe, inorder for this stew to thicken, it needs to be cooked in a large pot.
* If you are using tomato sauce that is somewhat watery and not thick, add 1-2 more Tbsp of flour to the stew 30 minutes into cooking.
