This hearty and flavorful ground moose stew will warm you right up on a cold day. Prepared with tender chunks of potatoes, carrots, and onions and simmered to perfection in a rich tomato sauce, this dish will quickly become a family favorite.
Heat the cooking oil in your dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the ground moose to the pot and stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the meat is browned and the onions are translucent, stirring occasionally.
Once the meat is browned, stir in the beef broth, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and all the spices. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
Add in the carrots and potatoes, and stir well to combine. Cover the dutch oven and let it cook for about an hour and a half, or until the vegetables are tender
To thicken the stew, dissolve 3 tablespoons of flour in 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the stew for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Once the stew is done, remove it from the heat and ladle it into bowls to serve.
