Personal Notes:
I also like to dice bacon, brown it in the stew pan, and remove the bacon leaving the fat in the pan. I use this fat plus just a little olive oil to brown beef. Then I add back the bacon when the potatoes are almost tender at the end of the cooking time. JoAnn was my mom's best friend and they shared many recipes.
