The 40 Mile Beef Stew is a classic and hearty meal that originated in the American South. It is named after the 40 Mile cattle ranch in Texas, which is known for producing high-quality beef. This stew is a combination of beef stew meat, link sausage, russet potatoes, carrots, and onions, simmered together in a savory broth and topped with mozzarella cheese. The stew is perfect for a chilly evening or a lazy weekend, providing warmth and comfort to the body and soul.

Instructions

2.	Cut the sausage into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
3.	Sprinkle salt and pepper on the beef stew meat to season it.
4.	In a large pot, brown the beef stew meat over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides. Remove the meat and set it aside.
