OLD FASHIONED BEEF STEW

OLD FASHIONED BEEF STEW
A great beef stew recipe to try !
INGREDIENTS
  • 1/4 c. flour
  • 2 lb. beef stew meat
  • 3 tbsp. bacon drippings
  • 1 pkg. Lipton onion soup mix
  • 1 qt. water
  • 2 bags frozen stew vegetables
  • 1 c. frozen green peas (added during last 10 minutes)
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. seasoning salt
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Several drops of Kitchen Bouquet
  • 2-3 dashes hot pepper sauce (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS
In a plastic bag, combine flour with 1 teaspoon salt. Add beef stew meat cubes, shake to coat.
In a large saucepan, brown meat, in the hot bacon drippings. Add water, soup mix and spices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes, until beef is nearly tender. Add vegetables, cover and simmer for 30 minutes more.

If you need to thicken the beef stew some, use 1/4 cup of the leftover seasoning flour, mixed with 1/2 cup cold water, (make sure there are no lumps) and stir into the stew. Cook an additional 5 minutes. The beef stew recipe is ready...enjoy it !
