The vegetables are stewed to perfection and full of cooked in rich juices. Gravy lovers, like me, will enjoy wiping the plate clean with a fresh made roll. My growing family requires a filling meal that makes enough for leftovers just to see up with the hunger demand. This recipe fed my family of five and had enough for leftovers the next day.
