beef stew. it has been a very long time since I made it and my kitchen smells wonderful this afterno

[irisblue]

I went easy, 1#cubed chuck, 1 rough cut onion, seared in a bit of veg oil, bit of salt , 1 can cream of celery soup 1can veggie broth, covered the skillet, 15 min later 2 big handfuls of rough cut carrots, 10 min after that 2 handfuls of baby potatoes sliced in half. tasted and adjusted salt added peppercorns.

I also realize I am now using my Grandmas cooking measurements..

1. No red wine??

5. Not everyone uses alcohol in their food (n/t)

6. because I went with a celery soup base this time no.

there is another pound of cubed chuck in the freezer, so next time maybe?

[niyad]

10. I know that both will be delicious.

15. the first bowl has been fantastic!

[PJMcK]

2. Not really Super Bowl food!

But I bet it smells wonderful. With a stew like that, you can't go wrong since the longer it cooks the more flavors are blended.

Enjoy!

9. since my team, #GeauxSaints! ⚜️ isn't involved, I'd forgotten today is a game

I'm thinking on a Firefly rewatch tonight

19. Firefly and beef stew!

Sounds great for a Sunday evening.

3. also why are so many beef stews tomato based?

[niyad]

8. Because the tomato is a tenderizer?

11. Smart

13. the celery/mushroom soup base might be b/c of my moms cooking style

imprinted on me.

18. I've never had stew made with any tomatoes.

That makes it more like a soup rather than the traditional beef gravy stew we expect.

12. Yum!! Love me some really good beef stew..maybe not SB food...news flash..not everyone watches

...the commercials can always be viewed later

14. ***BEST SUPERBOWL COMMERCIAL EVAH!!***

still makes me laugh, but who were they? what was the company?

[SWBTATTReg]

16. Electronic Data System, a Ross Perot company (I doubt he's still alive), I didn't know that HP ...

bought them out...They used to be pretty big in the IT world, may still be...

17. I love a rustic beef stew with big chunks of

Meat and lots of different veggies in a thick, well seasoned sauce. When times get frugal and I need to stretch my budget i serve stew over cooked egg noodles or mashed potatoes to soak up all that gravy. Dumplings or biscuits on top are also a nice addition for hungry people.

20. Sounds Yummy

might try the same recipe using bison instead of beef. Always like the results myself.
