Reviewer: Nancy from Sharpsville, IN
Because my husband and I love elk, I wanted to try a hearty stew for the soon to be arriving winter days.
This was simple and delicious. I did add a little more spice - elk is so mild, I wanted a bit more bang so added a splash of jalapeno. I didn't have access to acorn meal, so I made old fashioned Bisquick dumplings - still good! This will be a favorite of ours - and a fun meal for when we have friends over -minus the dumplings but with homemade bread!
