Here is what I am serving at my club today. Easy beef stew:

3 lbs. boneless beef chuck roast, diced
2 large russet potatoes (about 2.5 lbs.), diced
6 carrots, chopped
1 large yellow onion, diced
4 celery stalks, diced
1 can diced tomatoes
1 large bell pepper, diced
2 packages beef gravy mix
1 tsp. Lawry's seasoned salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. garlic salt

Place diced potatoes, chopped carrots, diced tomatoes in crock pot, add water to cover vegetables, cover pot and turn to High setting.

Brown diced beef in large skillet, add seasoned salt, pepper, garlic salt, onions and bell pepper, cover and simmer for 1/2 hour.

Transfer browned beef and spices to crock pot. Use pan drippings to make gravy mix (about 4 cups). Transfer gravy to crock pot.

Cover crock pot, 2 hours on High setting.

Add diced celery, turn crock pot to Low setting, cover and leave for 2 hours.

Makes about 5-1/2 quarts, serves about 15 to 18 people. Freezes and reheats nicely, so for home use it makes several quick and easy meals.

For those who like more vegetables I suggest adding a can of corn, or a can of green beans, maybe a half-pound of sliced mushrooms (or all three if you like). Watch the capacity of your crock pot or stock pot, it is easy to add more than the pot can hold.

The chicken drumettes are soaking in brine to be slow smoked over nectarine wood. Then flashed over high heat to form a crunchy skin.

Kale cooked in pot liquor, with grilled in the shuck corn on the cob.

Served with the best homemade buffalo dipping sauce: 1/2 cup of real butter melted with enough Texas Pete original hot sauce stirred in till' a bright red color.

LOBO. Sounds good. However here that would be dinner. Then supper for the evening meal. Always thought "lunch" was for city slickers.

You forgot to say where. Colorado is kind of a big place. I have to see if I can get there by noon.

Sounds like you just volunteered to bring it...

I adore beef stew in all its many incarnations.

I adorn mine with hot sauce and either crumbled corn bread or crushed Fritos....


.....with a beer chaser.

Just made some the other day... Just a simpler recipe.

Brown the diced chuck roast in a skillet and pour into crockpot along with any juices in the pan. Just a little salt and pepper. I prefer Yukon gold potatos along with carrots,celery and white onion.

Add 5 cups water to a 5 quart crockpot along with 2 packs beef stew seasoning and 2 heaping tablespoons of flour. The flour makes a darker brown gravy. Stir everything together and cook on high for a little over four hours. Those chunks of chuck roast will melt in your mouth.

It might not work at a social function but for myself I will finely mince a handful of jalapenos (with seeds) along with everything else. They really add a distinct taste along with everything else. Also adds a little warmth but not unbearable heat.

Some buttered french bread is all I need to soak up all the juices.
