Recreate and Decorate.
I started taking some pictures of my dinner experiments that have worked out really well this last week or so and this crock pot beef stew recipe was the real jackpot of the bunch, so I thought I’d share it first!.Honestly, this one has been years in the making.
Being of Irish decent, I kind of feel like I should know how to make an amazing basic stew just kind of automatically, but I. did.. not.I really thought that if I used my magical crock pot, then that would make it all somehow work out and taste better, but I just kept ending up with tasteless brown mush!I’ve been messing around with my recipe for the last few years and I think I’ve finally found one that I really love and is still in keeping with my pre-requisites for a good crock pot recipe: It can’t take more than 5 or 10 minutes to throw together, and there is absolutely NO PRE-BROWNING ALLOWED!
It seems silly to use an extra pot or frying pan when the whole point of a crock pot recipe is that it should only take one pot, right?So here’s my really simple recipe!.
You can add larger or smaller amounts of the meat or veggies and it will still work out just fine, just make sure you get the broth part right!.
-1 package of stewing beef (mine was about 2 lbs).So I made my own!
And I like them waaay more than anything I’ve seen in the stores..I used various different sizes of cereal boxes to get me started.
I think it gives them kind of a custom look..The insides aren’t pretty, but who cares, right?
