On some recipes, I will include some additional information to try and help you out (cutting the meat takes some time, use low-sodium or flavor-infused broth, etc.).  These are just suggestions, your experience in the kitchen should be your own - add some extra or different spice, use a different vegetable, just own it.

bEEFY RICE

sLOW COOKER bEEF AND RICE

 

3 pound Chuck Roast, cut into cubes (with fat)

1 package Onion Soup mix (Or Beefy Onion if available)

1/2 cup AP flour

2 Tablespoons oil

4 cups beef broth


Put the meat and flour in a ziploc bag and shake to coat.  Brown the meat in hot oil in batches and put into slow cooker.  Add the broth, soup mix, and remaining flour from bag and stir to combine.  Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 8 to 10 hours.  Serve over white rice.



You can thicken with cornstarch dissolved in warm water if you prefer a thicker gravy.  You can also add more flour at the beginning of the process.  You can season the meat in the flour by adding paprika, salt and pepper, or chili powder as you see fit.  


Why all the recipes?

I have enjoyed cooking ever since I can remember, and while in the past I tended to overseason and add extra ingredients to nearly everything, now I try and keep things simple.  Less is sometimes more... flavor. 


While some of these recipes take a little time and a little preparation, they don't take a lot of skill or experience to produce good food.  The most important thing about cooking is to not be afraid to try something new.  It's not difficult to make something that other people will enjoy.
