Beef Stew

Andi wants to get stuff to make beef stew. It’s one of my favorite things to make and eat in the fall and winter. I’m not exactly sure how she makes it but I’m sure it’s similar to mine. It won’t fatten you up but it’s not one of the fastest working weight loss supplements either.

I use:

1 lb of stew beef cut in chunks
several potatoes peeled and cut in cubes
several carrots peeled and cut in chunks
a large onion sliced
water
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder
Kitchen Bouquet to darken the sauce
flour and water to thicken the sauce

I put the beef and vegetables in the crock pot in the morning along with enough water to cover most of the meat and vegetables. Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder and Kitchen Bouquet. Let it cook all day on low. When it’s done thicken the sauce with the flour and water mixture then serve.

You can serve it over noodles too.

Cabbage Soup

This soup is rumored to be a fat burner. I don’t know if that’s true or not.

INGREDIENTS

5 carrots, chopped
3 onions, chopped
2 (16 ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes, with liquid
1 large head cabbage, chopped
1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
1 (15 ounce) can cut green beans, drained
2 quarts tomato juice
2 green bell peppers, diced
10 stalks celery, chopped
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth

Place carrots, onions, tomatoes, cabbage, green beans, peppers, and celery in a large pot. Add onion soup mix, tomato juice, beef broth, and enough water to cover vegetables. Simmer until vegetables are tender. May be stored in the refrigerator for several days.

What’s For Dinner Tonight?

crock_beefI went to the grocery store and picked up a nice top round roast and some carrots. I also got some Crockery Gourmet seasoning for beef. I put the seasoning in the Crockpot with 2 cups of water and stirred it up. Then I put in the 3 lb roast followed by a large onion cut up in chunks, 3 large potatoes, with the skin on, cut in chunks and several handfuls of baby carrots into the Crockpot. I put the cover on and put it on low where it will sit and cook for 7 hours.

I’ve never used that seasoning before so I thought I’d give it a try. It smells very good. They also have many other varieties for beef, chicken, pork, etc.
