A-w-e-s-o-m-e stew recipe! I double the meat and add 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes, and because my sons detest any sign of tomatoes, I blend them. The broth will seem runny while it's cooking, but if you leave the lid on for the 10 hours, the meat falls apart and the tapioca thickens the liquid. Because it's all dumped in at the same time, it is so incredibly easy. Again, a-w-e-s-o-m-e flavor!
