What's For Dinner Tonight?

[Dodgergirl]

Just started a modification of this recipe, I never really follow what they say...
Anyway, it's a good day for some stew, with crusty french bread & possibly a cobbler for dessert.
(I don't use the beef broth, I simmer a roast with seasonings for 4 or 5 hours & make my own broth. I also use corn, parsley and lots of garlic. I also use olive oil instead of vegetable oil.)
You can also use the basic recipe & cut it in half for a smaller portion, just use the vegetables in the amounts you like best. What's really good is to make this recipe, then with the leftovers make a pot pie. Just thicken whatever is left with flour & put it in a cassorole dish, adding a top layer pie crust. Brush with milk and add a few slits in the crust. Cook until the crust is brown. My boys love this..

INGREDIENTS:

* 2 pounds lean stew beef
* 1 cup chopped onions
* 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
* 2 to 3 teaspoons vegetable oil
* 1 can (approx. 10 1/2 ounces) condensed
beef broth
* hot water
* 3 cups diced potatoes
* 2 cups diced carrots
* 1 stalk celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
* 2 tablespoons flour
* 1/3 cup cold water
* black pepper and seasoned salt to taste
PREPARATION:
Rinse the beef under cold running water. Heat oil in a Dutch oven or kettle; add beef, seasoned salt. and chopped onions. Cook over medium heat for about 10 to 15 minutes, until the meat is browned on all sides and chopped onions are tender.
Drain off excess fat, if necessary. Add beef broth and hot water to the pot until liquid level about 1 inch above the beef. Cover and reduce heat to low; simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender. Add the potatoes, carrots, and celery. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 30 minutes longer, until vegetables are tender. To thicken the stew, combine the flour with 1/3 cup cold water; stir until smooth. Gently stir flour mixture into the pot a little at a time, using as much as needed to make the stew as thick as you like it. Add pepper and taste for seasonings, adding more seasoned salt if necessary.
Serves 8.
