So today’s recipe is for Beef Stew. Again, not a complex meal but it has tons of veggies and my kids actually like it. So here it goes:
1 lb. of Stew meat
1/2 an onion finely chopped
3-4 stalks of celery finely chopped
1 small bag of baby carrotts
about 8 red potatoes
1 can of english peas
3/4 butternut squash (cubed)
1 package of Beef Stew seasoning
1 box of Beef Stock
about 2 cups of water
I put my stew in a crockpot but you could also use stockpot or a roasting pot. I put my crockpot on the stovetop and pour a little olive oil in the bottom of the pot. Turn stovetop to about medium-high. While it’s getting hot, coat stew meat with flour, salt and pepper. Add meat, celery and onion to the pot and cook until veggies are tender and meat is browned. Then you add all the other ingredients. Remove pot from stovetop and turn it on low for 8 hrs. or high for 4 hrs. Depending on your crockpot, times may vary. Serve with cornbread and we usually eat the leftovers the next night over brown rice. Super easy and it’s so yummy on a rainy day. Let me know if you try it!!
Sorry, I took the pics with my computer so they’re backwards. :)
