Toasted french bread slices with butter are the perfect addition to this healthy comfort food. During the cooking time you will be multitasking, I've been able to shorten the time to 45 minutes for the entire process. This Stew freezes and reheats nicely. I have also made this recipe successfully with Vegan meatballs, and turkey as an alternative to beef.
