Old-Fashioned Beef Stew

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. Cook: 2-1/2 hours YIELD: 8 servings.
This rich, hearty old-fashioned beef stew recipe has a garden full of flavor with vegetables like cabbage, rutabaga and carrots. Mom knew this main dish is one that would suit us 11 kids. When we were all home, she'd throw in extra vegetables to stretch it. —Anne Heinonen, Howell, Michigan
