Mom’s Beef Stew

This has been a favorite meal on our family camping trips for as long as I can remember. 

Making this stew is a "labor of love".   You get to labor in the kitchen making it ... then everyone loves getting to eat it.

Looks more like a beer stew then a wine stew, but it's fine by me, and where's the ketchup???
