Simple beef recipes Beef Stew for dinner? Every single recipe I've seen for beef stew has massive ingredients. Did you know you can leave some out?

Beef Stew is nice on those cold days to warm you up. Heat up some dinner rolls or make some biscuits for a complete meal.

Cooking Tip: If you have a pressure cooker, pork or beef will cook quicker.

Crockpot Idea: Put the beef in the crockpot with a little water in the morning and let it cook on low all day. Cook the potatoes in a pot till done, and then add what you cooked in the crockpot to them.

Also near the bottom of the page are other ways to cook beef and ground beef.
