I thought this sounded nice by the title but when I looked it wasnt, first of all I am allergic to tomatoes and cant eat any of the sort. I also think you should be precise and add recipes for all ages.

Being a 19 year old girl and being interested in cooking I was looking for a basic stew recipe. I too do not like tomatoes but with a few tweaks to the recipe and some use of common sense I made a really nice stew. I think its a good recipe for first time stew makers!

This is a Casserole not a stew. Stew is cooked in a pan on the hob, casserole in a casserole dish in the oven.
