I've been craving beef stew all day

Dinty Moore.

Maybe get a canned whole chicken and add some vegetables?

Costco

That chicken is turning my stomach.

Get some good tender strak, brown it. throw iSimmer this aboutn frozen stew veggies. beef bouillon, parsley. S& P to taste.

Simmer half an hour or so until veg are cooked. Buy some great rolls and enjoy.

The reason for using steak is that it doesn't have to be simmered to tenderize.

I said that I'm not going to make it myself.

Is this a scat thread?

Get beef-flavored Ramen Noodles, don't put in as much water as the instructions suggest, and cook it twice as long, until it's the desired, stew'y consistency.

R4 was enjoying some weekend drinkie poos.

Order a family meal from DoorDash, even though no one’s set foot in your house in decades.

Campbell's Chunky beef with country vegetables, can be a reasonable substitute. Just note that it has a brown gravy base, rather than tomato.

Greg can help out here.

If you want chicken, r2, try Shakira's recipe.

OP types fat, lazy, and entitled.

That can in the picture looks like it just gave birth.

Sorry, but I'm ill informed about "retail beef stew."

It’s diarrhea

I buy my beef stew at JC Penny.

If you're not going to make it yourself, ask a friend. If you're craving the flavors of a nice slow-cooked stew, you're not going to find it in a can or in the frozen section.

The Viet makes a great version of beef stew OP dear. Stop by your local Viet restaurant.

There may be a beef dish that comes close enough at your supermarket. Agreed Vietnamese beef stew can be awesome; we have no Vietnamese restaurants here, which is a shame as I love their coffee!

Okay - in a pinch.

Get the extra large can of Dinty Moore stew for thickness. Add to that Trader Joe’s Beef Roast with Demi-glacé.

While you microwave the TJ’s roast beef:

In a large pan, sauté in olive oil a few carrots, a large onion (or two) and a few celery stalks, chopped bite-sized. When cooked, add salt, lots of ground black pepper and perhaps thyme if you have it.

Then add the stew to the vegetables, and stir on low to medium heat for 5 minutes or so. It’s light brown sludge for now, but will improve!

Add the TJ’s beef and ALL it’s dark delicious juices (the pouch is hot and has been pierced for the microwave, so be careful).

Break down the beef with a wooden spatula and stir until the stew gravy turns consistently darker with the Demi glacé.

Season to taste.

Takes about 30-40 minutes and is pretty damn good for “fast food”.

R21 Girlfriend get yourself some Viet Coffee Filter. It's not that expensive. Pump in Robusta coffee and top itoff with condensed milk. Voila

Oh, and if you have an open bottle of red wine, pour a healthy shot of that in after the vegetables are cooked, maybe cover it and steep for about 5 minutes before you add the Dinty.

And Cafe du Monde coffee & sweetened condensed milk. If you don't have the device at R23, you can used a drip coffee device. Frankly, I'm not even sure you need the Cafe du Monde. The key ingredient would be the sweetened condensed milk.

I'd love to try that Vietnamese beef stew, but I always order my usuals.

Dump it Beef Stew.

I was going to post the Sandra Lee Semi Home Made Beefy Stew recipe but it was too gross. You can look it up for yourself OP.

beef stew is sickening.

There are so many easy crockpot versions but if you can't be bothered, head on over to Walmart and get Patti LaBelle's frozen Beef Brisket Stew, it's decent. $9-ish.

If it's just comfort food you are craving, Patti's frozen Chicken and Biscuits is excellent and far better than the stew. $9-ish.

Whenever a recipe has the word "dump" in it, I tend to take a pass.

Beef stew is so underrated

Are you sure it's not dog meat?

Canned stew is fine. The trick is in how you dress it. I recommend a half cup of raisins, a dash of soy sauce for umami flavor and a dollop of Hellman's right before you serve. I made it for my friends last week and they all agreed it was delicious.

Raisins in beef stew? [bold]Raisins??[/bold]

That's not really Greg, R33. You can tell because he's not recommending prunes.

I see what you did there.

OP, you should make some this weekend and freeze half of it so you’ll be prepared for a day like this.

Potato chunks don't freeze well, they become mushy when thawed. But the rest of the stew could be frozen and then the potatoes could be chopped and boiled separately and added to the thawed stew. Not that OP is likely to make that much of an effort, twice!

I tried R22's recipe, and it tastes like shit.

This is not me. I know how to properly spell 'Hellman's'

Just another little boy who thinks he's amusing.

Auto correct strikes:

At least I know how to properly spell 'Hellmann's'

Who could be more clever than this douche?

Beef stew really isn't that hard to make. I'll cheat and use the seasoning packets sometimes. I've also bought carrot/celery pre-cut sticks to make the prep super easy. I usually add some red wine to really bring out the flavor.

Make Brunswick stew i stead. Or pick it up from your local BBQ joint.

Places like Bob Evans and Cracker Barrell have decent beef stew/beef vegetable soup.

Go to McDonald's and get a quarter pounder and a side of fries. Throw away all components of the burger except the meat patty. Take that and break it up into little chunks in a cooking pot. Cut up some fries into little pieces (they're potatoes!). Add some baby carrots (already cut up!). Then throw in some water and a beef bullion cube and cook it up until done.

Enjoy OP!

Make a carne guisada instead.

A good oven or crock pot recipe is no peek beef. If you make it with carrots and potato chunks it's very stew like.
