Since it's been somewhat cooler lately, I've been in the mood for some good 'ol yummy comfort food. My Mom makes the BEST beef stew out there. It's literally to die for. Though her recipe is a little complex. I've always wanted to find a way to simplify it. I found this recipe so I decided to try it. It turned out delicious and extremely easy. Of course SuSu's Beef stew is still better but this one came in at a good second.
Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures. I actually forgot. I was a little consumed taking care of a cranky two year while attempting this new recipe.
Recipe:
3-4 medium potatoes; cut/peeled (I used red potatoes)
baby carrots
3-5 lb. pot roast
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 pkg onion soup mix
Place all items in crook pot and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours. No need to add water. It will be plenty moist with a nice flavorful gravy!
My notes:
I always tend to tweak recipes to make them my own. So I added a few things:
~ onions; chopped (I love onions. In my opinion, red meat and onions go so great together).
~ can of green beans and a can of corn (more a veggie stew, too)
~ before adding the meat in the crock pot, I dipped the sides in flour (to give it a little crust)
~ salt and pepper to taste and a dash of red pepper for a little heat
~ Along with the soup/mix, I also added one serving of Knorr homestyle beef concentrated stock.
~ I served it over mashed potatoes (you could serve over rice as well).
~ All crock pots I've ever had are fast cookers rather than slow cookers. The recipe says to cook for 8-10 hours. I'm so glad I checked on mine. It was done at 5 hours on low heat.
