Stew does not get any heartier than this one. It has everything but the kitchen sink in it and my gosh does it taste amazing! Three types of meat, a huge variety of vegetables and flavor to make you go back for seconds. This recipe makes enough for leftovers and you will be glad it does.

  10. What a great meal for a cold, damp and dreary day. I don’t think they sell rotel here, I will have to double check. My kids would love this, I’m sure.
