The Pioneer Woman's Slow-Cooker Sunday Stew Is the Easiest Comfort Food Recipe We've Seen
If you like to stock up on meat when it goes on sale or keep a freezer in the garage with various types of frozen beef, then The Pioneer Woman’s latest recipe is for you. She digs through her fridge to find four different bags of leftover meat to create the perfect weekend comfort meal, and we love how easy the whole thing looks!
Comfort Food
The Pioneer Woman (aka, Ree Drummond) lives on a cattle ranch, so she has access to more beef than most people — but that includes the not-so-good parts. “When you have a whole beef in your freezer, all the good stuff disappears first,” Drummond explains in a new Food Network video shared to YouTube. “The steaks, the really good chuck roasts, and then you’re left with a freezer full of meat you’re not sure what to do with.”
To ensure it doesn’t go to waste, Drummond thawed out the “odd cuts of meat” in her freezer and used some of them to make a delicious Slow-Cooker Sunday Stew! This recipe is “out-of-this-world scrumptious,” according to her.
Directions
She starts by browning meat, then preparing the slow-cooker for the stew. “Big chunks” of onion forms the bottom layer, followed by carrots, and other food and spice ingredients. “With stew, there aren’t many rules at all,” she explained.
Drummond adds potatoes and rump roast meat at the end, as well as fried bacon, because when she makes comfort food, she goes all out! “A little bacon makes everything more delicious,” she explains.
After adding some more ingredients to the stew — including several liquids! — Drummond sets the stew on low for six hours. When it’s ready to eat, she serves it with buttery parsley lemon noodles on the side to make an already delicious meal even better!
The Comments
People were looking forward to trying Drummond’s recipe, which is no surprise. “I love love all Rees Drummonds recipes.. always,” one person wrote.
Someone else commented, “Your best recipe yet!” Another wrote, “Mmmm????Yummy????.”
If there’s one thing the Pioneer Woman succeeds at, it’s making comfort foods. And this one just took the top spot in our kitchens because it’s tasty and resourceful!
