Matt and I have had many conversations about stew. We discuss if it needs more liquid, less potato, baby carrots vs regular potato, etc. These are the things that consume our table.
I think we are there... this is a mix of randomness and taste:
2 lbs. Stew meat
2 cups water
Worcestershire
Clove Garlic
Bay Leaf
1 Onion
Salt
1 Tsp Sugar
Pepper
Carrots (the big ones)
Potato
1 can diced Tomato
1 Beef Bouillon Cube
Basil
Italian Seasoning
Brown meat and onion. Add Water, worcestershire, Garlic, Bay Leaf, Salt, Sugar, Pepper, Bouillon, Italian seasoning. Simmer for 2 hours. Add can of tomato, Potato, Carrot, Basil. Cook on medium heat for 1 hour.
Taa Daa!

Easy Cheesy!
When you have friends with kiddos coming over for dinner and you want to wow them with "Mac and Cheese for the kids" - toss this together. It is FABULOUS - and easy:
In a casserole dish mix:
2 cups uncooked noodles
2 cups chopped cheese of your choice
2 cups milk
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 tbs onion soup mix/any spice mix you like
Cook for 1 hour at 350 - stir at 30 minutes.
DONE!

Crockpots and time
At least once a week I get asked what I make in the crockpot. Well that is easy - easy stuff! When you have to have dinner on the table by 5:30 and you get off at 5:00 - you live for the crockpot.
The Crockpot ham that is world famous (in my world)
Bone in Butt Ham (important - spiral cut is too dry and shank is too greasy)
1 Bottle of Apple Cider (apple juice works)
Whole cloves
Put the ham in the crockpot bone down
fill the crock pot with apple cider
toss in a handful of cloves
Cook on low all day
It is AMAZING!
Other EASY simple ideas:
Meatball Sandwiches
Frozen bag of meatballs
1 can of spaghetti sauce
Cook on low all day - we like to start it on "keep warm" and up it to high a few hours before. This may not work for you at work all day. Low all day works too.
Put the meatballs on rolls with provolone
YUM.
The kids and hubby love it.
BBQ Chicken
Frozen chicken breasts
1 can of pop (any kind works I think. Coke, Sprite. I use any one hand.)
Cook on low all day
Shred when you get home and mix in BBQ sauce
Put on rolls
enjoy!
