Tampa, FL – If you watch the Food Network you've probably seen Sandra Lee's show called Semi-Homemade Cooking. The internationally-acclaimed home and style expert specializes in combining fresh ingredients and store-bought items to produce mouthwatering meals that taste like they were made from scratch. The addition of store-bought items reduces preparation time to a minimum.
This morning, Lee is showing us how to make Cowboy Stew. It's an easy dish that moms can throw in the slow-cooker before they take the children out trick-or-treating on Halloween night.
When the children are done collecting candy, dinner is waiting for them at home.
