Easy Peasy Vegetable Beef Soup

January 15, 2024 / / 0 Comments

I’m a fan of the CrockPot Slow Cooker and single pan/pot meals, and this vegetable beef soup is no exception. It’s an easy-to-put-together recipe, and you can cook it all day when it’s super cold in the RV.

Five Ingredients make up this recipe.

  • 1 pound of stir fry beef
  • 1 pound of seasoned fajita beef strips
  • 1/2 cup of flour with seasonings for the stir fry beef
    • Chupacabra Brisket Rub
    • McCormick’s Montreal Steak Seasoning
    • Weber Seasonings Cowboy Seasoning
  • 1/2 cup of flour without seasonings for the seasoned beef strips
  • 1 Can Hunt’s Diced Tomatoes – Roasted Garlic
  • 1 Package of PictSweet Vegetable Soup Mix
  • 4 Boullion Cubes or 1 Can of Beef Broth

Instructions:

  1. Add two cups of water to the bottom of the crock pot, four bullion cubes, and set the crock pot to high.
  2. Add diced tomatoes to the crock pot as it is heating.
  3. Flour the beef and brown in two tablespoons of olive oil.
  4. Add browned beef and vegetable soup mix to the crock pot.
  5. Top off the crock pot with water and stir until well-mixed.
  6. Cook on high for two hours and then reduce to low for the last three hours.
  7. Serve hot with Pillsbury Crescent rolls.

Stan’s Infamous Beef Stew Recipe

December 10, 2023 / / 0 Comments

This beef stew is a stick-to-your-ribs meal that pairs well with a Coors – The Original Banquet Beer – and either Pillsbury Crescent Rolls or King’s Hawaiian Sweet Hawaiian Rolls. I enjoy it on cold or rainy days in the RV and it’s easy to put together even on work days when you can’t get away from the phone or the computer. It’s an easy prep and just let it cook in the Crockpot Slow Cooker all day.

Recipe

  • 2 1/2 pounds of Beef Stew Meat
  • 1 pound of Honey Gold Bite Sized Potatoes
  • 8 ounces of Baby Carrots
  • 8 ounces Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms
  • 1 Large Yellow Onion
  • 1 Can Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 1 Can Beefy Mushroom Soup
  • 1 Pouch Mushroom Onion Soup
  • 3 Beef Boullion Cubes
  • 3 or 4 Bay Leaves
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons of Minced Garlic
  • 1 Cup Flour
  • Seasonings
    • Chupacabra Brisket Rub
    • Nature’s Seasonings
    • McCormick Cowboy Seasoning
    • McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • 1/2 cup to 1 cup Canola Oil

Instructions

  • Pour 1/2 cup to 1 cup of canola oil into the pan and start it heating. I use setting 5 on my propane stove in the RV.
  • Put one cup of flour into a gallon Ziploc bag and add seasonings to the flour at your chosen quantities. I liberally use Chupacabra and Nature’s Seasonings then finish up with Cowboy and Montreal Steak to get the flavor I enjoy.
  • Put all stew meat into the Ziploc bag and shake till all pieces are coated evenly with flour.
  • Set the Crockpot to high, pour the can of Cream of Mushroom Soup into the Crockpot, and add one can of water.
  • Pour the Beefy Mushroom Soup into the Crockpot and add another can of water.
  • Add the pouch of Mushroom Onion Soup for flavor
  • Brown meat in the oil until 90% to 95% done and add to the Crockpot.
  • Add minced garlic, bay leaves, and bouillon cubes, and let the stew simmer for about an hour in the Crockpot.
  • Quarter the onion and add to the stew. It will separate as it cooks
  • Cut potatoes into halves and add to the stew
  • Add carrots to the stew
  • Add mushrooms to the stew
  • Let simmer on high for three to four hours and it will be ready to serve.
