LaVell Edwards game day stew

It felt like a stew for dinner kind of day today. I know a picture of stew isn't all that appealing, but trust me when I say that you will love this easy to make stew.  I got the recipe out of the newspaper years ago from Patti Edwards, wife of former BYU head coach LaVell.  She said this was a favorite dish of her husband who liked to come home after playing BYU football on a Saturday (back in the good ole days) and enjoy some stew for dinner.  Add some corn bread or a hard roll and you're set.

Here's how you make it:

1 lb quality stew meat (get a good grade of stew meat so it won't be too tough)

3-4 cups of carrots depending on how many you like

3 large potatoes

1 package dry Lipton onion soup mix

1 large onion 

2 cans of mushroom soup depending 

1 can water

Chop all ingredients and stir together.  Simmer in a crock pot on low for 5-6 hours or bake at 200 degrees for 5-6 hours.  

If you Google LaVell Edwards game day stew, you'll see the recipe all over the place.  I guess the good word gets around.
