The best beef stew to me, is one that has been slow cooking in a crock pot all day. Want one of my secrets? Brown gravy mix(the powder) in it, as stock. Gives it an over the top flavor! It's like the missing ingredient. Try it!
Oh, and I just looked at your link. Know what I've been using a lot of, lately? Chorizo. Aldi's has their own brand, and it's only about $2, for a lb package. At Krogers though, they have chorizo seasoned ground turkey, for $1.59, for a 1lb sausage chub. Of course the turkey's much better for you, but I was checking the caloric info, and the difference, surprisingly, is minimal. Like only 15 or 20 calories difference, per serving.
But about the only way I can stand ground turkey, is this way, or they also have taco seasoned ground turkey, which is tolerable.
I know, on the will power...after 16 months of success, I feel like I've started to falter, since about November. I'm bound and determined to keep it under control, but it's so hard. Especially in the winter, when I crave comfort foods.:mad:
