Have you considered beef stock/broth instead of chicken? Would really enhance the flavor, I think.
You can use whichever one you want, you are right it would be good.
You can use beef stock or boullion but the thing is sometimes beef stock or boullion has a tinny taste so to keep the flavor mild and let your veggies shine, chicken stock is used. You may find that certain recipes call for chicken stock and that’s ok. I have a wonderful beef roast recipe that calls for chicken boullion, out of this world good.
I made a few alterations to this dish and it was amazing! I used ground turkey instead of beef, sea salt vs table salt, real unsalted butter vs margarine, organic chicken broth with less sodium, organic flour and red potatoes. It was amazing!! I really love this dish and will for sure continue making it.
Hi Beth! I love all of the changes you made. I put this one up years ago and don’t use margarine at all any more. Butter only here in this house. I love the idea of using turkey. I will try that the next time I make this, thanks!
