Quick Stew

on

 


The reason this is "quick" stew, is because someone else did the stewing for you. Yes, it's made with a bunch of canned goods, but stay with me! I know what's good. 

Ingredients:

  • Two 14.5 ounce cans Keystone Beef. 
  • One 15 ounce can Great Value sliced potatoes. 
  • One 15.25 ounce can Libby's whole kernel sweet corn. 
  • 1 cup leftover chicken stock (optional).
  • Two 6 ounce cans Great Value tomato paste. 
  • One 14.5 ounce can Libby's Naturals cut green beans. 
  • One 14.5 ounce can Libby's sliced carrots. 
  • One 8 ounce can Great Value sliced mushrooms (stems and pieces). 
  • 2 onions (any color).
  • 1 tbsp butter. 
  • One 15 ounce can Great Value sweet peas. 
  • 2 tsp garlic powder. 
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning. 
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper. 
Directions:
  1. I know you didn't sign up for this step, but this would be a great time to defrost whatever you're going to make for dinner. Pretend you're making this stew for lunch, like me. 🤡
  2. Heat a large skillet, like the Always Pan, over medium-low heat, and throw in a tbsp butter.
  3. While that's getting hot, cut up your onions (diced).
  4. Sauté the onions until they are soft and toasty (about 20 minutes). 
  5. While those are cooking, add your beef (un-drained) to a 6-quart ceramic-coated cast-iron dutch oven. You might as well get one. Everyone's doing it. Mine is Lodge brand from Target. 
  6. Anyhoo, heat that over medium heat, and break up the meat with that spatula that came with your Always Pan. 
  7. Add tomato paste, and chicken stock. Stir well. 
  8. Add Italian seasoning, garlic powder and black pepper. Stir well. Don't forget to be stirring your onions periodically. 
  9. Here's the thing with the vegetables; you want to use all of the brine, except for the vegetables that have firming agents, etc. In other words, if your veggies have just water and salt, use that brine in your stew. 
  10. I ended up draining the mushrooms, and potatoes. Add all of the rest of the ingredients, and stir well. 
  11. Add onions. Stir well. 
  12. Heat until thoroughly hot. Serve. 
Serves 6 to 8, and it's better the 2nd day.
