BEEF BURGUNDY STEW

Quantities really depend on how much you want to make - I used 1/5 pound of meet and mostly eyeballed my ingredients to taste.  It's very easy to make and the recipe usually changes every time I make it, but this is the basic!

• Heat olive oil in a step pot
• Brown Beef (beef for stew dredged in floured w/pepper & cayenne)
• Dice potatoes (I used red potatoes, diced into 1.5 inch cubes)
• Brown potatoes w/peppers & onions & sweet roasted peppers (and porcini mushrooms if desired)
• Add burgundy to taste - just keep the bottle handy, start out with ¾ cup and add more as needed
• 1 pkg Beefy onion soup mix
• Let it all thicken and add beef broth and water as needed
• Add chopped carrots and green beans

If you want to bring this to an Autumn open house, just put it in a crock pot and plug in to keep warm!  Bring disposable hot cups & plastic soup spoons!

DELICIOUS!  Great for the family on cold nights!  ;)
