Beef Stew

Winter time for me means crockpot soups, stews and more comfort foods. Beef stew is a family favorite like most my recipes. I swear the kids tell me all the time "mom you are an amazing cook." Sometimes, I do not believe them because I make mistakes, I fuck up, it is called being human. Butttttt other times, I am like hells yes I am!!! That dinner was amazing!!! This is one of those. You Will Need: 1 Chuck Roast 1 Bag Small Potatoes, cut 1 Bag Baby Carrots 64 oz. Beef Bone Broth (this is important) 4-6 packets Beef Gravy (I use Kinder Bone Broth Gravy) It is important you use beef bone broth. Why? Because bone broth is sooooo good for you! It has natural collagen and fats that keep you from getting sick. We switched to bone broths ONLY and have rarely gotten sick during winter months. Nothing more than a common cold, no flu, no covid *knocks on wood*! Crockpot cook on high for 4 hours, low 6 hours. I like low and slow!!     

Loaded Chicken Potato Casserole

Casseroles are a simple meal; throw everything into a casserole dish, bake and you have dinner in a matter of 30-40 minutes. I love the idea of an easy dish; as a mother of two very active children it is hard sometimes to find time to want to cook or even do it. I love being able to do minimum work but still have the best results on our supper plates.

You Will Need:

10-15 Organic Red Potatoes
1 pk Organic Bacon, diced
2-4 Pieces of Organic Chicken
Organic Green Onions
Organic Cheese, shredded
Organic Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
1/2 Organic Onion
Organic Parsley



Dice your potatoes, and place in casserole dish, place 4-6 tbsp of olive oil, salt, pepper, parsley and chopped onions. Bake at 475 degrees for 1 hour or until fork tender... meanwhile 


Dice your bacon


Brown bacon and crisp in your skillet; save 3 tbsp of bacon grease for the chicken


Dice your chicken, season however you wish (I used homemade chicken seasoning, salt, and pepper) 


Cook completely... 5-6 minutes a side on high (my chicken was cooked frozen that is why there is lots of water in the pan- no biggy)


Top chicken on the potatoes 


Add cheese


Bacon


Green onions


Bake 400 degrees for 10-20 minutes or until cheese is golden brown (I used my broiler was too impatient)
