Cook over med high heat until it comes to a boil stirring occasionally. Add potatoes, onions, and carrots. Cook on med to high for 45 min to an hour or until potatoes are tender enough to put a fork into them. In separate skillet, melt butter and sauté mushrooms . Add the entire contents of skillet into the stew pot. Continue to cook on low heat stirring occasionally for 30 mins. Serve with hot bisquits, toast or a side of rice!
Or if ya intend to can it like we did just combine all the ingredients into a large pot and just warm until well combined and fill your jars leaving an inch headspace and place in your pressure canner with a couple inches of water and process for 90 mins on 10lbs of pressure!
Hope you will give it a try and let us know if you like it!
