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.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Petty

This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...

Happy Homemaker Monday

The Weather::: Right now, it's 30 degrees.  It's supposed to get up to 40 today though. Right now I am: Sitting at the kitchen table with Scotland in my lap.  Rylie is playing with a remote control My Little Pony scooter toy on the kitchen floor. Thinking: How busy today is, what all I need to get done, and the walk I want to go on. On my reading pile::: Right now, I'm reading a book my sister-in-law loaned me called Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard On my tv::: I've got several shows to catch up on, just not sure how I'm going to fit TV in today.  Maybe during nap time. I've been really enjoying Super Store lately.  It really reminds me of The Office but in a Walmart type store.  It's nice to just laugh and laugh.  It's a lot easier to watch vlogs while I work on the iPad. Something fun to share::: This weekend we went to a birthday party for a little girl we've known for a couple of years and became friends with her family...
