"I found that the amount of liquid in the recipe was not enough once the vegetables were added. I added another can of beef broth and another bottle of beer, and added more seasonings. Perhaps next time I will reduce the amount of carrots, potatoes, and onions by half instead of adding more broth and beer, because the vegetables are quite plentiful in the original recipe. The beer adds a delicious flavor to this recipe, and the overall seasonings were good. I also tossed in about 1/2 cup each of frozen corn and peas for some color."
