Notes

For a richer flavor, consider adding a bay leaf or two while the stew simmers, removing them before serving. You can also adjust the seasoning to taste by adding more Worcestershire sauce or spices like paprika or garlic powder. If you prefer a thicker stew, simply mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot during cooking.
