Notes

Mash. Mashed potatoes are amazing for naturally thickening a stew. I always have some frozen potato cubes in the freezer for this and used two of these, plus a little of the mash from the just cooked mashed potatoes. If you have some mash leftover, I highly recommend doing this.
Sauce. Its all about the thick sauce, so always give it a good stir prior to adding in the mushrooms.
Taste. Do a taste test of the beef when adding the mushrooms. If you feel like it needs more seasonings, then add in a little more.
