Hot Beef “For a Crowd”

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 lbs boneless beef chuck roast
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 envelope dry french onion soup mix
  • 1/4 cup oats
  • Kitchen Bouquet sauce for color (optional)

Preparation: Trim beef well and cut into 1″ cubes. Place in crock pot with all soups and stir well. Cook on “low” for 18-24 hours, skimming fat and stirring occasionally.

Add oats one hour before serving to thicken the sauce. Add Kitchen Bouquet for a rich brown color. Stir and press against sides to break meat into shreds.

Serve over egg noodles or on rolls.

Can be kept hot for a long time without losing quality.

Plus any combination of the following:

  • chopped green onions
  • chopped broccoli or spinach
  • Italian herb blend or parsley

Add whatever you have on hand from the extras list.  Sauté lightly, add seafood and continue to cook until the seafood is just done, add the wine and return to a boil for a moment.  Pour over hot drained pasta.  Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

A glass of good wine and a chunk of baguette goes good.
