Beef and Noodles

Last week was beef week at our house. It was cold and time for some comfort food. We had Beef and Noodles, a recipe I got courtesy of my good blogging friend Betsy at My Five Men. We even found out we have in real life friends in common this last year.

Beef and Noodles
from my blog friend, Betsy

3 lbs beef stew meet, cut in 1" cubes
1 onion, chopped (or use some onion powder)
4 T butter
8 tsp Beef Soup Base
24 oz wide egg noodles
10 cups of water

Brown stew meat and onions in butter in a large stock pot. Cover with 10 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 2 1/2 hours.

Take out the meat and set aside. Add soup base and noodles. Cook until noodles are tender. Return meat to the pot with the noodles and check seasonings. Add salt and pepper if needed. Serve once the meat is reheated. It usually doesn't take long.

I've doubled Betsy's original recipe. I usually only have enough leftovers for one large serving even after having doubled it. If I served a lot of sides with it it would go farther, but we were really in the mood for some warm comfort food last week. It's been cold here!

Hi Kayren Sweetie...
Boy does that look, smell and I am positive taste wonderful. I am printing that recipe and saving it for a rainy day here in the desert. We don't see really cold days, but the rainy days make it taste real good. We are expecting rain for the next two days, and how simple this would be. I might be able to cook the stew meat low in the crock pot all day and then add the rest when I got home. Yummy.

Thanks for sharing sweet friend. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
