Another Day...Another Recipe

        I can't believe it's already the middle of September, this month is just flying by. As they say time flies when you are having fun. One of my favorite parts of fall is the cool mornings and cool nights. Even when it's still 86degrees during the day, the mornings and nights have a wonderful chilly temp to them. Crazy I know but I love it! But those chilly temps make me want to curl up and eat some comfort food. So in honor of that I will share with your family one of our favorite family comfort food recipes. This is a regular recipe during fall in our house but I easily made a few changes to make it a freezer ready meal. We hope you love our Crockpot Cowboy stew!

Crockpot Cowboy Stew

(Feeds a family of 6-8)

Ingredients

One pound Hamburger or Beef Stew Chunks

2 Boxes of Beef Broth

One Can Canned Tomato

One can Corn(Drained)

3 Large Carrots(Sliced)

5-6stalks Celery(Sliced)

4-5 Mushrooms(Sliced)

Half of an Onion Chopped

Potato's or Noodles for starch

Seasoning to Taste

Put Broth, canned tomatoes, Drained can of corn, and all fresh veggies

(sliced) into Crockpot brown hamburger or Beef chunks in Skillet then

drain excess grease and add to crock pot. If using Potatoes add now, if

using noodles add those about 1hr before serving Season to taste. I like

to use a little Tabasco, Fresh Ground Pepper, Kosher Salt, Garlic some

rosemary and Thyme. Let cook in Crockpot on low 6-8hrs or high 3-4hrs

and serve With Freshly made rolls or biscuits and Fresh salad :)  

(To make this a freezer meal brown hamburger before adding but if using stew meat just add it to the bag as is, it will cook just fine in the crockpot. Leave out the noodles or potatoes until you add the meal to the crockpot, if using potatoes add when you put in the crock pot, if doing noodles do not add until the last half hour or so of cooking. As for the broth you can either add bullion cubes to the bag and just write how many cups of water to add when you put in the crockpot or you can just add beef stock when you put it in the crockpot and that's how simple it is to turn this into a freezer meal. Just throw everything else into the freezer bag and seal and freeze and pop out the night before you plan to use it)
