Instructions

Notes
- While you can leave the stew meat in the pieces it came in, I always advise cutting it into smaller bites. The meat will get a better sear and have more flavor.
- Want to sneak in more veggies? Add a cup of frozen peas into the stew.
- Make sure the potatoes are diced finely. You don't want to bite into the casserole and get a half cooked piece of potato.
