Texans Check Your Pantry: Hormel Recalls Popular Canned Stew Over Contamination

Here in Texas, there are a few things we know and we love when it comes to food: chili, BBQ, steaks, and stew.  Let's face it, anything that has beef in it we know and love.   However, sometimes we like to take shortcuts because cooking something low and slow takes forever.  Most of us don't have the patience for 'low and slow,' so we look for microwaveable options.

Canned stew is sometimes easier, especially if you don't have hours or the ingredients to make stew from scratch. Now it is time to check your pantry for this particular can of stew.
