what better thing to do on a snowy day than to make a roaster full of beef stew from scratch! only one hiccup.. I forgot to buy potatoes at the grocery store so I threw in some rutabaga. not sure if that is an apples to apples substitution. the sauce is golden mushroom soup (not homemade, but it IS Campbell's), assorted spices and a secret ingredient.
the total sodium from the soup is 1500mg so I didn't add any extra salt, and I used 1/2 cabbage so didn't add extra pepper. it's been baking 4 hours and should be ready about 5pm... can't wait!!!
Beef stew pairs nicely with peanut butter on bread and a tall glass of milk. and i'll have lots of leftovers for the week!
