Directions
Beef Casserole Base, This base is meant to be divided into 3 portions which can be frozen for up to 3 months All you have to do then is thaw the base (put it out in the morning) and decide if you want to make Recipe#48837, Recipe#48838 or Recipe#48839 (all recipes posted here on Zaar) In under 20 minutes you can have a fantastic meal for 4 ready, and it will taste like you have been cooking all day! The meat in this comes out so tender and the casseroles are all delicious , This is wonderful! used the base to make Beef Stroganoff food com/recipe/slow-cooker-beef-stroganoff-391691/review and Beef Stew used Better Than Bouillon and needed to cook this longer for my meat to get as tender as I wanted it After cooking the batches of beef in my cast iron pot (I needed more oil than recipe called for) the bottom was so black I almost washed it because it looked burned but when I put about an inch inch of water in the pot and returned it to the stove to boil it clean and scraped the bottom with a spatula, I tasted again Wow, not burned and such a deep flavor after the beef broth was added Hubby and I kept sneaking tastes of the broth while the meat was cooking!, Excellent base for easy meals I’ve used the Diane Style Casserole and also the Red Wine Casserole We enjoyed both Thanks, Dale
