Description:
During the cold winter months after a day skiing, there is nothing more satisfying and easy than a slow cooking stew. I prefer my crock-pot for this one, but you can also cook this using a stovetop method. I have always served this with broad noodles or rice and of course a wonderful home baked crusty roll!
