JULIE'S THICK AND TASTY BEEF & SMOKED SAUSAGE CAMP STEW

Steps:

• Combine the Thick Stuff ingredients and simmer until soft.
• Drain liquid, put in a food processor and whir until mostly smooth; put into a container to take to the event with you.
• Cut up the beef into cubes, the sausage into rounds, and the veggies as indicated above.
• Put them into containers (I use Ziplock bags) to take with you.
• Mix together the spice mixture from the onion soup, garlic powder, curry powder, oregano, basil, thyme, and sage; put into a Ziplock bag.
• When you're ready to cook it all, place the meat and veggies in a big pot and add water to cover.
• Add the spice mixture and stir well.
• Put over heat (I've done this with propane campstoves and in covered Dutch ovens with charcoal -- both ways work fine) and simmer for 1 hour.
• Add the Thick Stuff and simmer another hour, stirring occasionally, adding liquid as necessary for desired thickness.
• Makes a thick, rich stew serving anywhere between 8 to 10 people, depending on how hungry you are.
