Wine lends a warm background flavor for this satisfying take on a traditional French stew. Lynn Stein in Joseph, Oregon uses low-fat mashed beans to thicken her broth and boost nutrition. Serve with garlic bread and dinner's done!

  • 1 can (10-1/2 ounces) condensed beef consomme, undiluted
  • 1/2 cup sherry or reduced-sodium beef broth

Directions

  1. Place flour in a large resealable plastic bag; add beef, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat.
