Once again, I was digging in the pantry for a quick and easy recipe. Easy to make before your off and running to work in the Flintstones mobile because the gas has got so high that Fred Flintstones looks handsome.
Prep 10 min
Cook 8 to 10 hours on low
Serves 4
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef (Use lean ground beef or precook ground beef and drain)
2 onions
1 can of diced tomatoes
2 Large potatoes, peeled and chopped
3 cups beef broth, or 3 beef bouillon cube to 24 ounces of water
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
3 carrots peeled and chopped
1 10-ounce package of California blend, or use what ever you have in freezer
3 celery stalks with leaves (cut in bite size pieces)
1/2 cup butter or margarine
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions
1.Place all ingredients into , except flour and butter. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 6 hours. ( may vary)
2. One hour before serving, turn on high. Melt Butter in bowl then add flour and mix well. Stir flour/butter mixture into and mix well. Cook until flour thickens, stirring occasionally.
Tip: Use your left over vegetables that have been gathering up in the refrigerator.
Optional: Use Ground chicken or Turkey instead of ground beef
this I can try
I love the idea of cooking a meal in one pot. Problem is that the children are used to having different things to eat and do not like eating things like stews, lasagnas or anything where all the ingredients are mixed together.

[...] the cold wind hit… what a beautiful weekend! I ditched our soup plans yesterday (I can’t do soup when it’s sunny and 70 degrees out!) in favor of this [...]
What is California Blend? (I live in Canada) I’m guessing it’s a package of vegetables BUT want to make sure. I haven’t met a recipe yet that I can’t screw up.
Thanks.
yummy, already see it in front of my eyes and waiting to have itin my mouth
When I’m tired of all those healthy, but not tasty food, I would like real beef soup.
