4. Add frozen vegetables, till water is covered (about 2 inches shy of top OR add 4 cups water), stirring for 1 hour.
5. For the next 2 hours, turn heat to Low (2 out of a 10), simmering the stew and allowing the seasonings marinate in its juices.
6. Eat and Enjoy!
NOTE: We use a “lobster pot” which is about 2 ft x 2 ft. It makes about 3 large containers once cooked, so we freeze the extras. We use about 15 packets of frozen vegetables.
NOTE: If water is getting low, add 2-4 cups more water. It takes a while for frozen vegetables to get hot in the pot.
