Healthy Beef Stew Crockpot

**This Healthy Beef Stew Crockpot is terrific.  I wish you could smell my house.  It smells WONDERFUL**  I have used round steak, chopped up, leftover roast, or stew meat in this recipe.  They all taste great.  It smells like home.  Make some homemade biscuits and gracious.  This is a meal!

It reminds me of being at my Aunt Bettye’s house when I was younger.  I loved the smells that came out of her kitchen.  That and the chaos of all us cousins playing.  The grown-ups doing grown-up things!  LOL.

Now, I’m the grown-up.  That’s a scary thought.

Ingredients

1 lb stew meat

1/3 c. all-purpose flour + 2 T.

Seasoning

6 cloves garlic, finely chopped

bay leaves, 2

2 tsp. paprika

Worcestershire, 2 tsp.

2 onions, chopped

4 potatoes, chopped

2 celery stalks, chopped

3 carrots, chopped

4 beef bouillon

4 c. water

1 lb. squash, chopped

Directions

Put beef in crockpot.  Mix the flour and seasoning in a separate bowl.  You can find my seasoning recipe on my blog.  Once that is done, pour that over the beef.  Stir to coat meat.

Place the rest of the ingredients and cook on low for 10-12 hours or high for 4-6 hours.

Healthy Beef with Chinese Vegetables and Rice

Healthy Beef with Chinese Vegetables and Rice is not a recipe my kids are thrilled about when I make it.  I have learned some tricks and how to season the meat, in order for them to enjoy it.  This is a quick and easy recipe in that you can substitute Cauliflower Rice instead of traditional rice.

1 lb. stew meat (I cut this into small pieces and I marinate it all day in Teriyaki sauce)

1 c. broccoli

2 cans of water chestnuts

1 can mushrooms

32 oz. stir-fry vegetables

Seasoning

2 T. soy sauce

6 c. white rice, cooked

This serves about 12

Love

I love the robustness (is that a word) of beef stew.  It is so warming to my belly and my heart.  This reminds me of growing up and smelling it in the kitchen.  We didn’t have a lot of money, but this was one where you could use tons of veggies and little meat.  It would still fill you up on a cold day.  Now, my mom didn’t cook her beef stew with rice.  She used tried and true potatoes!
