Simply amazing Beef Stew

 

 

 

We are a larger family than most nowadays and a little unconventional. There are 3 adults and 4 children under 8. Recipes online are not normally built for us which means either doubling or tripling the recipe to make it work for us.

This beef stew is the best I have ever made, it fed everyone plus lunch the next day.

The big buns come in a giant bag from the Superstore.

What you need:

Onion 1/2
Stewing beef (about 1lbs) cut the beef into smaller pieces
Celery 6 stalks
Carrots 6 full length
Potatoes 6 med to large
Beef Stew seasoning from clubhouse (No joke this is my secret ingredient)
Flour (1/4 cup)
Salt and Peper
1 cup of water

What to do:

Step 1) Cut your stewing beef into small pieces

Step 2) Put beef, flour, salt and pepper into a bowl and coat well

Step 3) move stewing beef to frying pan and brown

While the beef is browning and stirring occasionally

Step 4) Peel and cut the carrots into bite-size chunks

Step 5) Peel and cut potatoes into bite-size chunks

Step 6) Cut celery into bite-size chunks

Step 7) Dice onions you can do more or less here I do as little as possible to get it past the kids.

Step 8) Put beef, onions, carrots, celery and potatoes into your crockpot

Step 9) Mix the water and seasoning package.

Step 10) Pour over ingredients in the crockpot.

Step 11) Cover and cook on low 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

Enjoy!!!

Now I am not kidding when I say this is by far the best stew I have ever made. I am pretty sure it's because of the seasoning package.  I happened upon it when by package gravy one day and decided to give it a try.

1/4 kids liked it (1/4 kids will eat anything the other 3 don't "like" much)
3/3 adults loved it
