Passion for the Kitchen

Making a stew in the crock pot today to surprise my husband! I never make because I never really enjoyed the traditional ones. So today I’m revamping the “old” recipe in to this tasty one!

1 lb of stew meat, seasoned with salt and pepper and then tossed lightly in flour and browned with 1 onion diced and 4 garlic cloves diced.

1 large tomato diced

1  1/2 cups of baby carrots

3/4 bag of small gourmet yellow potatoes ( the bigger ones halved)

1/2 cup marinara sauce

1 tbsp Italian seasoning

2 cups of fresh green beans trimmed

1 cup of Kale chopped

1 can of fat free beef broth

1 tsp red pepper flakes

2 cups of water..enough to almost over the beef and vegetables in the crock pot.

Mix together well in crock pot. Set on Low and cook for 6-8 hours. I’m serving mine over top brown rice, or  you could use whole wheat yolk-less noodles too.
