  We gave it some thought, but not for long.   We like the area where we
  now live.  We've been here for a quarter century continuously and sort

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05
 
      Title: Beef Stew Lambrusco with Crimini Mushrooms
 Categories: Soup, Stew, Mushroom, Wine
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      4 sl Bacon
      3 tb Flour, all purpose
      2 ts Beef bouillon, instant
      1 ts Basil, dried, crushed
      1 lb Beef, 1/2 inch cubes
     16 oz Tomatoes, canned, chopped
      4 oz Wine, Lambrusco, OR
      4 oz Wine, red, mildly sweet
      1 c  Onions, chopped coarse, OR
      1 c  Onions, pearl, frozen
      2 c  Mushrooms, Crimini, small or
           -- cut in halves or quarters
           Salt (to taste)
           Pepper (to taste)
 
       In a large heavy pot, cook the four strips of bacon over high
  heat until done.  When done, take the bacon out of the casserole
  leaving the drippings behind.  Set the bacon aside to cool.
  
       Add the beef cubes to the bacon drippings and lightly brown the
  meat quickly over high heat.  Lower the heat so as not to thoroughly
  cook the meat after browning.
  
       Mix the flour, bouillon, and basil together.  Mix these
  ingredients into the browned meat and drippings in the casserole and
  stir while cooking for a minute or two over medium heat.
  
       Add the tomatoes with the broth in which they were canned,
  onions, and wine.  Mix well, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  
       Add the mushrooms, (I like to use the smaller mushrooms when
  available, but when the Crimini are too large, just slice them in
  halves or quarters as necessary to make them bite-sized) and simmer
  covered for 15 more minutes.
  
       Add the crumbled bacon on top of the stew, cover and cook for
  five more minutes and you're done!
  
       When cooked enough, the meat should be tender, and there should
  be sufficient liquid for the mixture to be called stew.  If you need
  to add liquid, a little hot water is best - or a little wine is even
  better. <grin>
  
       Remember, when the dish is finished, there is no alcohol in the
  stew anyway, so add enough wine to add the flavor you want in the
  final product and enjoy.
