“What’s for dinner?” is a question I deal with once a day (more if my husband or kids ask!), and sometimes it can be a challenge. I don’t mind cooking, hell, I don’t even mind taking the time to prep a totally awesome meal. I just hate having to think up ideas for meals, because I suck at it. When I go to the grocery store, I’ll generally purchase several different types and cuts of meats, a bunch of sides (potatoes, rice, a few instant sides, the occasional bag of French fries, etc.), loads of veggies, and whatever our pantry/condiments rack/seasonings cabinet could use. But then I don’t know what to do with it all!
So lately I’ve been turning to the internet for suggestions and meat-specific or preparation-specific (slow cooker, for example) meals. The other night I was watching TV, and while I ignored the commercials about insurance quotes, I sort-of listened to ones about Pillsbury. And… I’m happy to report that Pillsbury and their awesome bread bowl beef stew was more than able to help me out. The meal was cheap, fun and easy to prepare, and the results were superbly delicious!
Prep: 15 minutes (cutting meat up, dicing potatoes, preparing the gravy & water mix, measuring out spices, etc.)
Cooking time: 15ish minutes in the pan, 30ish minutes in the oven
Total meal time: 1 hour
