This was really delicious and flavorful. I was intrigued by the combination of ingredients, and they blend together so perfectly. The aroma in the house while this was cooking was fantastic. I simmered the beef for about an hour before adding the sweet potatoes, which I cooked for another 30 minutes. I did end up adding salt, and I think I could reduce the water next time. I will be making this again. Thanks for posting this. Made for Everyday's a Holiday Tag Game.
