Meet the Cook: It's been 20 years now since I adapted this from a recipe for beef stew. We like it so much that, in all that time, I have never changed any ingredients or amounts - unless it was to double them! Our home's on a river, and my husband, our three boys - 12, 10 and 9 - and I enjoy camping and boating. -Valerie Jordan, Kingmont, West Virginia

My husband thought the thyme was overpowering in this recipe and I have to agree.

This was pretty good, but we felt it needed more salt and seasoning--maybe poultry seasoning?

"add beef"? should this read "add chicken" or should beef be added to the list of ingredients?
