“I have enjoyed making this quick and easy recipe for many years. It is a favorite go-to meal because it’s easy to keep the ingredients on hand for use. This Cowboy Stew was especially simple to prepare after church services when a quick lunch allowed more time to visit. One of the many favorites of Jeanette Brothers and myself,” acclaims Derinda Austin.
