Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. Add flour, onion powder, garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper to a large zipper seal bag and shake to combine. Add beef stew meat and shake to coat. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Using tongs remove the beef and add to the pan. Reserve any flour mixture left in the bag. Brown beef on all sides; removing to plate when complete.
• 3. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle in remaining flour ( 1 1/2 tablespoons) and cook for 2 minutes; stirring constantly. Add oregano, basil and marjoram; cook for 30 seconds stirring continuously. Stir in beef broth; cook for 2 minutes stirring several times. Add the browned beef back to the pan. Cover and place in the oven for 1 hour.
• 4. Add potatoes, corn, carrots, peas and green beans to the pot. Place back in the oven and cook for an additional 30 minutes or until stew and vegetables are tender.

AMY'S MULLIGAN STEW

Steps:

• Melt shortening in the bottom of a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Pour in tomato soup. Fill the empty can with water twice and pour in. Season with salt and mix until well combined.
• Cover and cook over medium-low heat until beef is tender, about 2 hours. Make sure there is always liquid in the Dutch oven; add more water if needed.
• Stir in potatoes, carrots, and onions once beef is tender. Add enough water to nearly cover the vegetables. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often, until stew thickens and vegetables are very soft, 30 to 40 minutes.

JOHN MULLIGAN'S MULLIGAN STEW

Steps:

• Sprinkle the beef with the salt and pepper and dredge in 1/2 cup of the flour, coating pieces well.
• Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large cooking pot.
• Brown the meat on all sides-- do this in batches-- over medium-high heat; use more oil as needed.
• Set meat aside once browned.
• Pour 1/2 cup water into the pot and scrape bottom and sides with a wooden spoon to dislodge all the brown bits.
• Return meat to pot.
• Add enough water to cover meat by one inch and bring to a boil; boil for 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat and simmer meat for two hours; skim away any foam as necessary.
• After two hours, add carrots, turnips, onion slices and potatoes to stew.
• Simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes; add water if necessary to barely cover the stew.
• In a bowl or measuring cup, combine the remaining 1/4 cup flour with 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid and whisk to a smooth paste.
• Whisk or stir into the stew; simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
• Add salt and/or pepper to taste, and serve.
• Note: The recipe doesn't call for any herbs or spices, but I would add some fresh herbs along with the vegetables; I would suggest fresh thyme and fresh parsley.

MY MOM'S MULLIGAN STEW

Steps:

• Cut up potatoes and spam (if you haven't already) and put them into your pot or crockpot.
• Add the can of tomatoes, juice and all.
• Dice onion and add it with the salsa and salt and pepper.
• Pour in enough water to cover all the ingredients.

GRANDMA'S MULLIGAN STEW

Steps:

• In a large heavy pot, brown the ground beef well and drain (I like brown, not gray colored meat. more flavor and eye appealing).
• Hold the corn until the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.
• Add remaining ingredients to the beef.
• Add water to cover about 1/2 inch above ingredients (add more if needed later).
• Cook until all ingredients are tender.
• Add corn, cook another 5-10 minutes, adjust salt if needed.
• Serve with a nice loaf of home made bread for a delightful 1 pot meal.
• If I'm in a big hurry, I sometimes start the cooking of the squash and peppers in the microwave so they will tenderize quicker once the ingredients are combined.
• I sometimes serve some form of potato with this to round out the meal a bit.
• Note: I've tried adding things like onions and mushrooms, but it just isn't true Mulligan Stew and the perfection of the flavor balance is lost so I suggest you stay true to the recipe as given.

JIMMY'S MULLIGAN STEW

Steps:

• 1. Over a medium heat; brown stew meat in olive oil in dutch oven; add chopped onion. Continue cooking until onions are tender. NOTE: Jimmy uses bacon grease in place of olive oil to brown the meat. I missed that step when I started browning the meat.
• 2. Add tomatoes,corn celery and carrots. Bring to a slow boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour or until beef is tender.
• 3. In the last 15 to 20 minutes; add potatoes. Increase heat to medium and cook until potatoes are tender. NOTE: If needed, add additional water to just cover the potatoes. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce to your taste.
