THE CHURCH LADIES Lori's Beef/Venison Stew

Another easy, hearty, filling stew. Great with biscuits and salad. This comes from Lori who always had a knack for getting great recipes. She gave this to me about 45 years ago I made this with venison, but feel free to use beef chunks. The recipe calls for much more meat. I find that less was plenty for us. RECIPE: 2 pounds stew meat, diced (I used one pound) 2 tablespoons oil 6 cups beef broth 3 medium potatoes, diced 4 carrots, sliced 1 green pepper, diced 1 cup celery sliced 1/2 cup diced onion salt and pepper as desired 1 bay leaf Flour and milk for thickening 1. Brown diced meat in oil 2. Add rest of ingredients and bring to a boil 3. Simmer 1 1/2 hours or until the vegetables are tender 4. To thicken: 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup flour whisked together, add more if it isn't thickened enough 5. Stir into stew.
