I got a recipe from Sunset Magazine for beef stew. I used elk instead of beef and it was FABULOUS, which says a lot because I don't like stew! I've made it probably 20 times, and the only thing I change is I double the recipe (my family loves the leftovers) and I use an entire package of peppered bacon, not just 4 measly slices.

p.s. It does not take as long as the recipe states - brown the meat, cook the bacon, saute the onion, toss it all in the oven and go quilt for 1 1/2 hours!
