Tonight's Dinner
My all in one beef crockpot stew :o) Changes a little every time but this is today's version!
1.2kg
rump steak, 1 onion, 2-3 cups butternut pumpkin, 200g mushrooms, 1/2
red capsicum, 1kg carrot chunks, 2c chicken broth, 2 cups zucchini, 1/2
jar of tomato passata, 3 potatoes (one diced so it will fall apart and
thicken the casserole, 2 in large chunks), 2 tsp Celtic sea salt and 1
beef stock cube (Massel). All in a 6L crockpot for the day. Thinking I
might put some more mushrooms in once it cooks down a bit and will
probably add a cup or two of green beans about 2 hours before the end of
cooking.
My family love these sort of meals! WE use the crock pot a lot especially on busy days.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly helps the sanity of the household on a busy day, doesn't it!

looks yummy! do the zucchinis come out ok and not too mushy by adding them at the start? I only use our slow cooker over winter so will have to keep this one in mind for then!
The seeded part of the zucchini falls off and just becomes a part of the thickening of the stew. The outer part inc skin is soft but not too mushy.... you could put it in after 2 hours if you wanted it firmer but it would be too firm for my liking if it went in when I put the frozen beans in.
Yea not sure what happened to my comments! Thanks for the answer will keep that in mind:)
