enjoyed eating it but also totally loved sharing it and finding out how others enjoyed it.

CHERAL'S COMFORT STEW

1-2 lbs.	Stewing beef
2 c.	Potatoes (sliced or chunks)
1 1/2 c.	Carrots
1-2	Onions
1 c.	Peas, frozen
1 can	Tomato soup
1 can	Consomme
Water

Optional:
1 can	Mushrooms and juice
1 can	Tomatoes
1	Bay leaf
Place everything in roaster (do not brown beef). Bake at 275 for at least 4.5 hours or all day. Contributed by Leisha: Growing up in my home was always filled with the scents of baking and meat stewing. My mother loved to try out new recipes constantly and always tended to time-honored recipes from her mother or great-grandmother even. Stew night was always my favorite... When my mother began cooking the stew, usually in the early morning, I knew that all day long the house would be filled with simmering smells of meats and vegetables. I usually picked out the peas and onions (still not my favorite) and it's a wonderful treat with a loaf of french bread dipped throughout.

FROGMORE STEW

3 oz.	Package seafood boil (Zatarain's is good)
4 cloves	Garlic (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
2-3 lbs	Kielbasa sausage (I use the low fat)
24	Small redskin potatoes, scrubbed but not peeled
12 ears	Corn on the cob, broken into 3-4" pieces
5 lbs	Large fresh shrimp, unpeeled
1 stick	Butter
Optional Ingredients (that I leave out):
2 T	Sea salt
1 lg.	Onion, cut in chunks
1/2	Lemon, thinly sliced (put in same time as garlic)
In stockpot, combine seafood boil, garlic, 7 quarts of water and bring to boil. Add sausage and boil for 15 minutes. Add remaining ingredients except shrimp. Cook until potatoes are almost done. Add the shrimp to the pot and cook until pink and firm, about 3 minutes. Drain off water and toss on a table covered with newspapers. Let everyone help themselves. (Serves 8) Contributed by Fran7 in memory of her father, Frank who died 3/15/2000: We decided to make this for the first time one night when my parents were visiting. They were quite surprised by the newspaper table to serve it off of (picture--surprised faces). But this recipe became a favorite of all of ours. We made it almost every time they visited--daddy always enjoyed it--the sausage especially. We don't do the newspaper table anymore though. We do it on a jelly roll sheet. [ Next ]
