A1 Beef Stew

I found this recipe on $5 dollar dinners. I was browsing through my reader, stumbled on this and immediately knew this would be a hit with my family. I was right, it was such a hit. Even the pickier kiddos loved it! It had a really nice flavor. Down here its still about 98 degrees in the afternoon, but we are due for a cold front tomorrow that will bring us some more all like weather. This dish is perfect! Like fall in a bowl.
