So, friends who saw me on Studio 5 a few weeks ago have said "Please don't tell me your family always sits that nicely at the table, if so, I'm a horrible Mom!" Well, the answer to that is "Yes" and "No"! Yes, 90 percent of dinnertime we eat together, sitting at the table. (Baseball season is an exception to that percentage, 3 boys, get it!) But "Nicely"? Let's take last night for an example. My 3 year old was throwing her "It's 4 o'clock and I didn't get a nap" tantrum a little late. (5:39 to be exact). She was sitting next to my 6 year old. He said something to her, not sure what it was, and she hit him in the arm attached to the hand that was holding his water that he had up to his mouth to drink. (Can you see where this is going?) Of course water spilled all over him so he then was mad and forcefully set his drink down on the table which slid into her water and they both spilled everywhere. On another note, dinner was good, i think it deserves to be the RECIPE OF THE WEEK!
2 lbs Stew meat (Can use with any beef really, this is a favorite with a Sunday roast, also include potatoes and carrots to the crock-pot the last few hours and its a one-pot meal!)
1 envelope good seasons italian dressing mix
1 envelope ranch dressing mix
1 envelope brown gravy mix
2-3 cups water
Mix seasoning mixes together in water. Pour over meat in a crock-pot. Cook low all day (6-8 hours) or high 4 hours till meat is tender. Serve over wide noodles.
To freeze this, you have two options. Place stew meat in a freezer bag and pour the mixture over and freeze. When you pull out of the freezer you will place in crock-pot and cook all day. Or you can already have it cooked before you freeze so all you have to do is heat it up and serve. (This is the best option for last-minute dinner).
