Nanna’s Stew

QuiltersRecipes — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 00:27:00 GMT

Submitted by Kerryann Dallas

1 pound ground beef
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can beef broth
1/2 onion
Mixed veggies: potatoes, corn, carrots, green beans

Brown the meat with the onion. Drain, put into a pot. Add veggies (as many as you like). Add broth. For seasoning, add to your liking: garlic powder, lemon pepper, salt/pepper, season salt. For a little more spicy flavor, I add chili powder and ground cumin, (very lightly on the cumin, this is a strong spice). Let all this simmer and eat when you’re hungry! My kids like to add shredded cheese on top.

Sick Abed Stew

Submitted by Dar Farmer

Named this because if you were sick, you could mix it up, put it in the oven, and go back to bed! Also called “Gad About Stew”, you can mix it up, put it in the oven, and do what you want!

2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 medium onion
6 potatoes
12 carrots
2 pounds beef stew meat

Browning of meat optional. Wash, peel, and cut potatoes and carrots. Put all ingredients in an oven-proof casserole dish. Cook for 5-7 hours in a 275º oven.

Crock Pot Stroganoff

QuiltersRecipes — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 00:25:00 GMT

Jo Christoffel
2 lbs. uncooked stew meat
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 can mushrooms with liquid- optional, small or large depending on your family’s preference
1 lg. can cream of mushroom soup
1 sm. can cream of celery soup
1/2 c. red wine
4 oz. sour cream ADD JUST BEFORE SERVING
Rice or egg noodles
Parsely garnish

Sometime before lunchtime, layer the celery soup, meat, dry onion soup mix, wine, mushrooms, and mushroom soup into a large crock pot on high heat setting. When you come back to the kitchen about an hour or so later for fresh coffee, stir the contents and turn the heat down to medium for the rest of the afternoon.

Half an hour before serving, fix enough wide egg noodles or rice for your family. While that cooks, turn the pot off, add the sour cream and stir well, and leave the lid off the crock pot to cool and thicken the sauce slightly. Spoon the meat & gravy over the noodles/rice and enjoy the fabulous rich flavor. This can easily be done early in the morning before leaving the house, but don’t forget to turn the heat down as you walk out the door! Mid-day stirring is not absolutely required.
