BA’s Mushroom Beef Stew

The first words out of his mouth were

“Oh My God, Babe!!”

I will take that as five stars.  Super easy to make, hearty and flavorful.  I will for sure be making this again.

BA Notes, before starting

I cooked the brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes and carrots separately but I don’t see why you couldn’t throw them all in.  I just choose not too because I’m not a fan over overcooked veggies and I like to give the dish a more complex flavor by seasoning them differently.  Also,this was my first time cooking a roast like this in a crock pot.  I cooked it for 8 hours on low, it could have cooked another two with no problem.  So next time, I will put it in over night and let it cook.

Well, I wish I could tell you what type of meat I used but, I can’t. It was a really lean, inexpensive piece, so I might say a top round. In the end I guess it doesn’t matter and you can use whatever you like.  This is what you will need to cook the beef in the crock pot;

• Hunk of meat (I used about a 3lb piece),
• 1 packet of dry onion soup mix,
• 2 small sweet onions,
• two cans of mushroom soup (I used low sodium),
• minced garlic,
• olive oil, parsley, black pepper and red wine.

♦◊♦ I will say, my next time I will also be adding portobello mushrooms.
