‘Tis the season to stock the freezer with soups, stews, and other Autumn yummies. \u00a0I will be making this some time this week. \u00a0(I will quadruple this recipe and freeze 3\/4’s of it.)<\/p>\n
Makes 6-8 servings<\/p>\n
1.5lbs stew beef, cut into bite size pieces<\/p>\n
1.5c. carrots<\/p>\n
3 stalks celery<\/p>\n
1c. chopped onion (as a time saver, I use frozen chopped onion)<\/p>\n
1 med. green bell pepper, chopped into bite size pieces<\/p>\n
1 can diced tomatoes with its juice (14.5oz)<\/p>\n
1c. traditional pasta sauce<\/p>\n
1T. \u00a0beef bouillon (I use the ‘Better Than Bouillon’ Beef Paste)<\/p>\n
salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n
1\/2c. pearl barley<\/p>\n
To prepare to freeze: Combine all the ingredients in a gallon freezer bag, EXCEPT for the pearl barley. \u00a0Place the pearl barley in a quart size freezer bag. \u00a0Place both bags into another gallon freezer bag and freeze.<\/p>\n
To prepare to eat: \u00a0Place all ingredients, plus 4 cups of water in a crockpot and cook on low 8 hours. \u00a0If you are using a frozen meal, you can transfer it straight from the freezer to the crockpot and add the 4 cups of water. \u00a0You do not need to thaw!<\/p>\n
