What can I add to slow simmer beef stew?
Try adding a can of cream of mushroom soup to the pot as an added pleasure! I like to add a green veggie to this, green beans or peas work well for me (last 30 minutes). BTW, use ONLY a high quality balsamic when cooking! A nice variation would be to add a pint of red sauce, or a small can of tomato paste. Love and good luck to all!
