Making Mom's Beef Stew (Vegetarianized)

 

Making stew Mom's way, but vegetarianized with mushrooms and fake ground beef chunks instead of real beef. 

Adding a bit of garlic powder, touch of butter in the onion/fake meat frying, a little more conservative on the black pepper, same on the celery (generous) and carrots and potatoes roughly; overcooking the veggies being fine to add to the sloppiness of the stew.

Seasoning with veggie bouillon, black pepper, bif of garlic powder, and just a pinch of salt in the pre-fying/caramelizing of the onions with fake meat before stewing.

And... The part I never realized... Cornstarch slurry 😅

Again 😅😅
