"This is "Hands Down" the best I've ever made! The thyme is what sets it appart. The garlic will end up very mild. Use less if you like. (I have now edited the recipe to include corn starch to thicken the broth. This of course is optional)"

This is one delicious stew and was made with love by my hubby to surprise me for St Patrick's Day night. He made half the amount for the two of us and it was just the right amount. He did a darn good job too! We had rolls to dip in the juices. Mmm mm good!!!!!!
