Stews

I've pretty much only made one type of stew ever and am looking for some new variations, ideas, or recipes with the winter coming up. I typically crockpot a large can of V8 juice with a couple pounds of cubed deer or elk steak, corn, green beans, celery, carrots, cubed potatoes, onions, peppers, ect...cook on low heat all day.

If you have a great stew recipe please post it up, thanks!!

LAST EDITED ON Oct-16-09 AT 03:48PM (MST)[p]I like to make my stews with a chicken stock or chicken broth base. Basically the same as yours, I just use 1-2 cans of chicken broth and some water instead of the v-8 or tomatoe paste/ stewed tomatoes.

Edit....I've also used french onion soup as a base and that was really good too, but it has a stronger flavor......it works really well for covering up gamey tasting meat.

"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Both are great ideas but I'm really liking the sound of that french onion soup...I'm a big fan of that stuff!! Definately will be trying both this winter, thank you much for the ideas Hardway!!

Anyone else have anything different??

That's pretty close to mine but I also add brussel sprouts. They add a unique flavor.
