INSTRUCTIONS
This recipe was reduced from the original which was intended for about
100 people, and called for 15 pounds of potatoes, 5 gallons of water
and other ingredients in the same grandiose proportions. The above
combination may be varied at will; just remember to use beer instead
of water to improve the flavours. Combine the Cubed Veggies with the
Miscellaneous stuff and cook until the veggies are done. Add the beef
and cook another 5 minutes at low simmer. Finally, add the Roux, stir
well and cook over medium heat about 15 minutes. To make the Roux,
which is a thickening agent used around the world and named by the
French, you heat the oil on medium heat and add the flour. Stirring
constantly, slowly brown the mixture without burning until it turns a
nice chocolatey brown. Slowly add in the cold water, stirring
constantly until the consistency is smooth. When required, add to the
stew and blend in well with the thinner liquid. The 15 minutes at
medium heat causes the flour to absorb a lot of the liquid and thicken
the stew. From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection at
