Stewp

Have you ever heard of stewp? Have you ever eaten it?

Recently I wanted vegetable beef soup and Honey wanted stew. Since Honey's sugar has been high I've been cooking less with potatoes because it seems to shoot his sugar sky high. So I set out to make a thinker soup, stew type dish.

This is great for the cooler weather headed this way!

Here's how I made it. Add liquids etc as needed. I eyeballed everything so I'm not sure exactly how much I used.

Stewp

Ingredients:
2 TBS Chicken bullion granules
2 cups water
2 LBS Beef Steak (I use a cheap grade of steak for this)
1 can mild Rotel Tomatoes
2 ounces Tomato Paste
1-16 oz bag mixed vegetables
1-8 oz bag butter beans
1 pkg brown gravy mix

Cut up steak in bite size pieces while partially frozen, it's easier this way. Add water and bullion granules to a stock pat, add meat as you cut it up. Add Tomatoes to this and cook on med for 30 minutes. Add vegetables and tomato paste cook until done. Add gravy mix and cook until liquid is almost absorbed. Watch your water level you may have to add water at times.

We loved it and I hope you will too!

By the way Honey's sugar is under control and he appears to be doing great!

Easy Beef Stew

I have been wanting beef stew for a while now. I use to make it with a roux or package mix and I didn't figure that I could come close gluten free so I have been afraid to try. Well after craving it for days I worked on coming up with a gluten free beef stew recipe.

It was very good it would have been better with onions but Honey is allergic to onions so this had to do.
