I have long been a loyal follower of "A Taste of Home" and frequently buy their little cookbooks at the checkout lines of my grocery store. My family loves the recipes and we have been enjoying this easy and healthy crock-pot stew recipe for many years. I always use fresh mushrooms, and I toss low-sodium bouillon cubes right into the roaster...no dissolving first in liquid. No additional salt is necessary.
