I always make my stew this way. When it comes out of the oven I add a bag of frozen peas. The stew is so hot that it cooks them Immediately. Also, I have turned oven down to 225 and let it cook all day, when I was working. I’m 76 years old and have cooked my whole life.

Look perfect to me! I use chuck, but that's because that's what my Mother used!

The potatoes here are exactly like my grandma's always were. I can tell the texture just from seeing them. I can't wait to try this one! Also I'm in love with that little side oven. Being able to toss a pie in while I'm braising a stew sounds incredible.

Comfort food. I put mine on top of my wood stove and let it simmer for hours. good.
New potatoes are just that. They are the first little ones harvested and are small.

Your stew looks delish. I love stew, the beefy flavor but I especially love the vegetables in it!! I could probably live on vegetables and once in awhile, a little meat. And fruit for dessert. Love you and Chris. Stay safe and warm.

I don't care what anyone says....a Dutch Oven Stew cooked atop a woodstove tastes much different than a Stove Top or Oven.

[phyllisdrinnen]

Looks so delicious! You were starving me to death when you kept tasting the stew and talking about how delicious it was. I will absolutely try this! Thanks Tammy

[ladysmith]

I always thought new potatoes were freshly dug potatoes that haven’t had time for the skins to toughen. I could be wrong. This stew looks amazingly delicious, it’s pretty too. Love ya all. ❤

Hi Tammy & Chris! Nothing says "stew" like cold weather! We were enjoying Brunswick Stew yesterday when this video posted but have all the ingredients on hand to try this recipe today. Am going to make two batches; one we'll start this morning in the crockpot since it probably have to cook longer as you mentioned and the second batch we'll cook in the oven. Will be nice to compare the two. Thanks for sharing this recipe and thanks for another video, y'all! Stay warm!! 😊

I came to watch this video after seeing you make the fried pies with some of the leftover stew. Looks yummy 😋 I sure wish I had learned from you years ago when I was first married so I'd have been a better cook for my "better half". He's gone to be with the Lord now and I don't cook near as much. ❤

I have that cookbook. It’s a good one. I miss Harvey’s Supermarkets.

my grandmother use to apply pineapple juice to marinate before cooking. She always said green papaya or pineapple juice have enzyme that break down the meat.

I am not from America, I come from New Delhi, India.

It’s cold in Florida. We’re 2/3 down the state and it’s been cold and rainy all day. I have no energy, been a couch potato. Not ready for the 90’s but I’m real tired of this cold. I know 50’s at night is not cold to a lot of people, but it is too me. Lol

[lorrainebernard]

Looks good Tammy and Chris watching from Cape Breton Nova Scotia.

[Vette]

Looks delicious! This would be a great meal to take to new mothers, those recovering from surgery, etc.

[lanakolesar]
