Recipe of the Week!


Hearty, Heart Warming, Comfort Food at it's Finest......
BEEF STEW

In your favorite slow cooker, so as to eliminate the need to slave over a hot stove and to have a meal piping hot and ready for when you come home from work.... This hits the spot.

1 lb Carrots, cubed
1 stalk of Celery, chopped
1 pound Potatoes, cubed
1 medium Onion, chopped
2 pounds of Beef, cubed**
1 pint of Salsa (16oz)
1 pint of Spaghetti Sauce (16oz)
1 cup Water
2 Tablespoons Seasoning Salt
Pepper to Taste

Place items in Slow Cooker, give a stir and then LET IT BE! Every time you open the lid to your slow cooker you lose a large quantity of heat. Be patient. 6-8 hours on HIGH / 8-11 hours on LOW.

Serve with your favorite crusty bread to soak up all the juices.

**The cut of Beef you choose depends on your budget, but anything that can be cubed up will work. Grocery stores sell packages of "Stew Meat" but it is considerably more expensive than picking up your own knife and doing it! Ask your butcher for assistance.
