I am going to try the Fireside Beef Stew today so will let you know I how go. As I freeze all my vegetable cooking water, I will use that instead of the purchased stock, and as I don't use salt I don't have to worry about salt free or salt reduced stock.

This was quite good. The meat was very tender. Couldn't find Italian green beans so used regular cut green beans. Could put more squash and potatoes in. A definite repeat.
