Slow Cooked Beef And Veggies

Once again, this is another recipe from I found on Sandra's food blog.  You can find her recipe right here, Full Bellies Make Happy Kids.

I have to tell you up front, I've never done slow cooked beef or beef stew at all because I was under some misconception that stew meat was expensive.  When I went to the store, I found that it's no more expensive than ground beef.  I'll be doing lots more with it since it's so cheap and yummy.

Slow Cooked Beef And Veggies


Ingredients:

2 lbs boneless beef stew meat
1 onion, chopped
baby carrots (I used about 3 or 4 hand fulls)
1 can stewed tomatoes, undrained
worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper
1 bay leaf
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup water
cornstarch

Directions:

Spray your crock pot with non stick spray.  Add the stew meat, onion, carrots, stewed tomatoes, worcestershire sauce, some salt and pepper, miced garlic, bay leaf and water.  Give it a stir to mix up all of your ingredients and cook on low for 8 hours.
After it's cooked for 8 hours, add some cornstarch and turn the heat to high.  Cook for a few minutes longer and stir until it has thickened.

I served mine ours with a side of mashed potatoes.  Sandra put hers in a mashed potato ring.  I'm sure if you didn't want mashed potatoes, you could have put some small potatoes in the crock pot with the rest of the ingredients also.

Potato Soup

During Lent this last spring, I needed a meat free dinner to feed my sister-in-law and her family. Usually my potato soup has lots of bacon and bacon grease in it. I found this recipe here .This one is meatless, but it is important to add that it is NOT dairy free. There are adjustments you can do to make it dairy free though. It’s quick and was really well liked.  Potato Soup 6-8 cups russet potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 yellow onion, diced 2 stalks celery, chopped 1 clove garlic 4 cups vegetable stock 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded 1/2 cup sour cream or cream 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Pinch red pepper flakes 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp olive oil In a large pot over medium heat, add the butter and olive oil.
