beef stew
I make it in a crock pot all day, but prep time is a breeze... Be forewarned. I don't measure anything. Amounts will depend on preference (more meat/less vegies, thicker vs thinner stew, etc)
Use stew meats or rump roast or whatever meat you want in it. Put the meat in the crock pot early in the morning. Should be done around noon. If large meat, take out and cut up (easire if you let it cool a while). If stew cuts, leaving it is fine. Peel and quarter potatoes (the smaller they are, the faster they'll cook, add to broth, and dump in a bag of baby carrots (onions are good,too, if the kids'll eat 'em). Let them cook a few hours until soft (mid to late afternoon). Add envelope of beef stew seasoning mix and a handful of flour. Stir as well as you can. If you used a meat other than beef (like Boston butt), add beef bullion cubes (and lots of them). Add back the meat. Add a can of mixed vegies. (Harder to stir once the vegies and meat are added back in) Check it every 1/2 hour to hour, adding flour to desired thickness. When you're happy, turn of crock pot, but let it sit so it stays hot. Salt and pepper to taste. Dinner's ready. Add water to leftovers because it will REALLY thicken when cold.
I've tasted better, but I'm always asked to bring this to put lucks, etc, because people seem to love it, and it's really simple to make, taking up very little of my time. If you forget to thaw the meat the night before, it will come out kind of tough, but is still pretty good if the cuts are decent.
luv beef stew
i used cubed up beef for stew or a roast. dip cut up meat in flour, put in crockpot, add carrots, onions, potatoes, celery and one can of diced tomato. add one or two packs of dried onion soup mix and two or three bay leaves, one or two cans of beef broth and one or two cans of beef gravy. cook for 6 or 7 hours on low. add cornstarch to thicken to taste. you can also make dumplings out of flour, milk, sugar and egg and add to the stew and that is so yummy

Got a creamed dried beef question. Do you find it best to saute the dried beef in the butter and
then add all the rest or do the cream part first and then add the dried beef at the end. Seems like both ways are in the recipes and just wondered which gets the best.
If do beef first, sauce should have more of a beef

Anything cherry or lemon! Bring it on!

I forgot to add some cherry pie filling to top it all off with that
but just even plain it looks good. Wish I had a microwave. I make a steamed chocolate cake in a pan called a turbo cooker. It's basically like a steamer. I add diet coke to it and it's like eating chocolate air. Mmmmmm
We have cherry wood floors next to lighter

*ears perk up* cherry cream?
That sounds YUMMY! Oh, and if you had a piece of chocolate cream with it...
I think I'm going to follow you. Wish I had a MIL that made good pies. It would make it all worth it. lol
I wouldn't have to worry about keeping my mouth shut...It would be full of pie!
One suggestion - don't name it "Stu" (stew)!
Did anyone see that awful episode of Trading Spouses? Do people actually live that way and kill their own pets for food - all those farm animals, pigs, chickens, goats?!?! they raise to me are no different than pets. How disgusting! I'm from the NY area myself so no clue how the country folk live. But I sure hope the majority don't live like that.
they stopped making Chocolate Cherry Diet Dr. Pepper
I feel your pain!!!!
Bunny borsch, rabbit stew and Bugs pot pie.

Can't you pack hot stuff in a thermos? Chili, soup, stew,

I have a bag of beef
 strips and one of chicken strips, both made in China - do you know if the stores are giving refunds or anything? Thanks!
Where's the beef?
That is what I think that cute little doggie is thinking. My dog Misty likes to look at dog pictures on the internet and she finds him (or her) most attractive and she is mesmerized by that food can. Sometimes I let her watch the dog videos on U-Tube when we are bored. My husband thinks we are crazy, but he thinks it is funny watching Misty watch the other dogs. She even barks back if they bark, they are like virtual doggie playmates!
Beef!

Beef stroganoff
What I do is get the Lipton (or store brand) stroganoff mix, and add a bit of Worchestershire sauce and mushrooms and sour cream to the mix as it is heating up -- easy and it tastes -- extemely elegant as well - in fact, I am going to make a batch later :)
I have 3 lbs of ground beef, and...
Personally, I could eat cheeseburgers every night, but the boys are pretty tired of that. And I'm tired of all the other 'regulars' like meatloaf and tacos, and even shepherd's pie. What else is quick and somewhat simple that is 'throw-together' from the pantry?
Of course, my 4-year-old is finicky, and I usually give him the options of eating whatever I make or going hungry, but hopefully I'll get some suggestions that might be up his alley, too.
Thanks to all - beef was so good
Marinated 2 hours and it was good. We only ate half so will have other half tomorrow and then will see what it's like when we marinate 24 hours. This was kikkoman teriyake sauce (sp?) It was so delicious and will be doing this more. Thanks to all for the time length to marinate.
I have 1 lb of ground beef in the
fridge and expect my husband to call any time now to ask "what's for dinner". Any ideas? Yesterday I suggested taco salad, chili mac, chili and plain ole hamburgers but all got vetoed. Of course, he had no suggestions to help me out.
grass fed beef
Another good way to get your B vitamins is beef, but I got REALLY lumpy when I ate corn finished beef, grass fed is leaner than chicken.
Ground beef
Ground beef
Tator tots
french style greenbeans - drained really well
cream of mush. soup diluted with milk enough to pour over top
Brown ground beef with your favorite seasonings.
Spray bottom of a baking dish with pam, layer with tator tots, spread green beans over that, then ground beef and top with cream of mush soup bake til hot and bubbly.
Yay Fall!!!
I'm cooking up a pot of chicken and dumplins tonight and a homemade peach cobbler...I heart fall!
leftover roast beef
I've had roast beef sandwiches for three days. Can I make the roast beef into something that I can freeze and eat later?
Roast beef hash is always a hit here.

EASY beef casserole
Use 2 pkg. of Jiffy cornbread mix and mix according to directions. If you don't have that in your area, it is a 'sweet' cornbread mix. Brown 1-1/2 pounds of g. beef and mix in bowl with some mild salsa or 14 oz. can tomatoes, chopped, and a can of pinto beans. Pour that in your casserole dish and then cover with the cornbread mix. My 3 year old twins love it. If you just use the tomatoes you could add some chopped onion to the beef when you brown it. Just bake it for about 20 minutes or until the cornbread turns golden brown. this is great with a salad or green beans
In the fall, it is all seniors nm

Feels like fall
There's a nip in the air today and a cool breeze with a hint of the smell of apples. I have a tart warmer burning that smells like pumpkin pie all through the house, yum. I love this time of year in the Northeast. Can't wait for the leaves to start changing color. 
Come to NC mountains in the fall.
What a great place to be in the fall if you enjoy being outside, hiking. There are resorts where you can play golf, if that's your thing. Or come to the coast in September or October. The water is still warm and often there are still warm days, but not hot (well, except this year, when it's stayed hot until now).
Don't cushion her fall sm
You did not cut "her" off per se, you stopped enabling her to take advantage of you. You are not a bank, a restaurant or a hotel. She will never learn and will get into deeper trouble later on. You should still love her but not the behavior. I have had to do this with siblings and at first was sick over it, but have stopped enabling. I'm a little lonelier but not being "used" anymore. They will keep asking until the well runs dry and the first time you say "no," you're the witch, so most of us have walked your walk. It does hurt but, "I love you, but 'no' is my answer." Take care of yourself.
Roast Beef and Sauce in Crock Pot
Any kind of roast, but works well with eye roast. You can pan oil quick fry it to seal in moisture, but I have cooked this without pan searing as well.
Stir together, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp ground garlic, 1/4 cup of oil, 4 tbsp vinegar, and about 1 tsp of ground ginger.
Pour over roast and cook in the crockpot. Depending on the size, I would do high for a while, and then down to low. About 8 hours or so. I've made this both in the crockpot and in the oven, so time varies. 
I use my leftover roast beef for tacos! nm
How long to cook corned beef
Does anyone know how long to cook a corned beef briskit (don't know how to spell that). I'm thinking its a few hours but not sure.
Did my fall yard work!
I took out three evergreen bushes that for some reason developed fungus. I replaced two with the round Little Giant arbivortae bushes - so cute. I couldn't do three because the third would have died from too much shade. I did put a Japanese iris in that spot. I put in a cute ornamental pepper plant. It has tiny peppers on it that are purple, red, orange, and yellow, so it's pretty funny. I surrounded it with purple pansies and orange pansies. I had to remove some sod to make room for these in my central bed. (Stupid Bermuda grass). I tidied up some other bushes, but was afraid to prune the azalea because I think it might be the wrong time. Besides, it is guarded by a huge yellow and black spider. I allow her to live because she never moves since DH explained to her that she can't live by the light at the front door. She is HUGE.
I'm very tired now and I think I have a sore throat, but hopefully the yard will look good when the kids and parents come trick or treating.
Anybody else do some good yard work? I suppose leaves are already falling up North.
Your foot is not going to fall off. Now I confess I did not

The Apple Does Not Fall Far From the Tree
I agree with you, Unhappy Camper -
There is little accountability in today's youth as a whole. The kids that are responsible, that know the consequences and live accordingly are the minority. Teens in the military are taught accountability and responsibility if they don't already have those attributes courtesy of their parents.
Interesting article I read in my hometown paper about an underage drinking party where over 25 kids were arrested for illegal possession of alcohol. One of the cops interviewed said out of the 25 parents that had to come and pick up their children, only one, ONE, told their child they got exactly what they deserved and that consequences would result. The others were mortified that their kids were being held, humiliated, and treated like criminals, then berated the cops for having nothing better to do, etc. We wonder why there are problems? The kids want the privileges of being an adult, but not the responsibility, thanks to mom and dad. One cop summed it up precisely. He said when he was a teen, he and his friends did not fear getting caught by the police, they were more afraid of getting caught by their parents.
As a result of such parenting, or lack thereof, it would bother me to see the drinking age lowered. If they don't hold their kids accountable, how can we by allowing the age to be lowered?
Iowa feels like fall too!
I just am not really thrilled for the thing that follows fall. I hate hate hate hate hate hate winter.
We were in the 40s temperature wise this morning. I have my portable heater toasting my toes when I work!
I fall out of bed, grab some coffee and
head to my office in my PJs at 6 a.m. On my break, I change into sweats or street clothes, depending on whether or not I have to leave the house.
That is such a beautiful fall picture!
You can almost smell the leaves and the fall air! That is one happy doggie!
or - "The fall alone will probably kill ya!"
Is this Boliva??
you know, asthma does fall under the ADA and if that is the case.... sm
then she might have to work with me and give me another apartment. I will have to check into it. I am in Pennsylvania and I will check it out. It would be a lot less expensive to move to another apartment than to do a whole big move. thanks very much!!
if you go to Pismo...go in the spring or fall...
Summer is very very foggy most of the time (I went to college in San Luis Obispo about 15 miles away). Also, if you do go, you MUST go to Del's pizza in Shell Beach for dinner one night. Fairly inexpensive and very good food--not just pizza. In my opinion, it is the best restaraunt in the area.
open faced roast beef sandwiches
Not so great for dieters, but heck, every now and then a little diet cheating is good. Toast up some bread, shred the roast over it, top with mashed potatoes (the real ones!), douse in brown gravy - instant comfort food.
Tell me my foot isnt gonna fall off!!
I had what I think is a blood vessel to burst in my foot on the side. My hubs says not a big deal, and maybe it is not but it seems to have spread a little, not over the top of the foot but bigger on the side of the foot. Had anyone had a similar happening? I am one of the older MTers so might just be an aging thing? Thanks.
Do those stay on or do they fall off when the kitty scratches?
Also, where do you get those?
HA! Same spider that made me fall down in public (sm)
One of my most embarassing moments!! I was in a busy public area with a park in the middle. I decided to cut through the park and walked right through a web of one of those and the spider was on my face!!! I fell onto the ground, freaking out, flailing like a madwoman. When I finally got up and realized what I had just done, I couldn't wait to get the heck out of there, but I kept shaking my clothes and brushing my hair, just in case!!
POLL:What show are you looking forward to this fall?
I just Netflixed the first season of Friday Night Lights and I am HOOKED! What a wonderful show. I can't wait for that to start.
Also, looking forward to Gray's Anatomy, but hoping for a much lighter season this fall. Last year was such a drag after the first two.
