Hearty Winter Stew (non Vegetarian)

Due to popular demand and an abundance of requests, i have decided to share another ancient Craigers recipe. The following is for Craiger's Winter Hearty Stew, non Vegetarian, because everything tastes better with MEAT! This is also not a recipe to be prepared during the months of March through to September. I apologize, but this is fact the Winter Hearty Stew and therefore can only be properly pulled of during the winter months.
Okay so here goes..and bear in mind that my recipes require no order to preperation..they are all trial by error and experimentation..

brown as much red meat as you see fit in a frying pan....dont be afraid to kick it up a few notches with various spices or whatever you have in the cupboards.
small dusting of flower on the beef once it browns will help to thicken the stew later on....

Now in a good size pot, like the one you made the soup in, start sautéing some onions(i love onions)
put some oil in there for fun! and again just toss in some spices...i subscribe to the more the merrier!

now chop up some carrots, some celery, and a few potatoes....
throw all of those lovely vegetables in the same pot with the onions and then fill with water!
I recommend more spices at this point...and some of those leaf things again!

crack an oxo cube or two in the water and mix in some sort of amazing stew mix...i use CLUBHOUSE!

at this point add the browned and floured meat into the equation
a squeeze or two from both your ketchup bottle and your HP bottle - If your Canadian you will have both!
a couple splashes from the Worcester sauce bottle
dont be afraid to use that Tobasco sauce you got either!
little bit of Salt...little more of the pepper
stir that beauty, simmer...and PRESTO!



Stay tuned for more amazing creations, tantalizing tastes, and simmering masterpieces! only on ...
COoking With Craigers!
