This stew was delicious, it was a little spicy for me, so I’m not sure what happened with our seasonings, I’m beginning to wonder if we mixed up our “chilli” spices with our “stew” spices and put the bags in the wrong prep bag. Ah well, nothing a little ketchup didn’t help, seeing as I forgot to add the tomatoes.
