Sundays in autumn are made for beef stew.
Beef stew is made for a girl on a budget.
I’m not entirely sure where the original recipe for this came from, but it’s one that I wrote down on an index card ages ago, and when I can’t find it, I get anxious that it’s lost forever. The weather has been getting cooler, and as the seasons turn I think of comfort food. Comfort food does not often lend itself to healthy eating, but in this case, I can make an exception. Because it is just so tasty.
Last name Ever. First name Greatest.
Best Beef Stew Ever
1/2lb stew meat (original recipe calls for 2lbs. I bought the cheapest, smallest package at the grocery. You can certainly add more, but may affect PPs)
1 10oz can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 10oz can french onion soup
1/2 lb carrots, chopped
1 lb red potatoes, quartered
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup red wine
Add soups and wine to slow cooker. Stir together. Add remaining ingredients and stir. Cook on low 6-8 hours.
In the Weight Watcher’s Tracker, this adds up to 6PPs per serving. I estimated it at 6 servings, but until it’s finished, I’m not sure how many servings there actually are! All I know is that every time I make this recipe I am really happy, and sharing it with friends is even better.
I’m serving it with crusty bread and a side salad.
