MOM'S OLD-FASHIONED BEEF STEW
This is the beef stew I've been making for over 30 years! Dark-brown beef and vegetables in lots of rich gravy,it's total comfort food on a chilly night and freezes very well. Originally from the 12th edition of the Fanny Farmer cookbook, published in 1980, I've modified it over the years to what we consider "perfect"! :) I've also done this in the pressure cooker when time was short. Add some crusty rolls to mop the gravy up and you have a yummy meal.I usually add some Kitchen Bouquet or Gravy Master while the meat is simmering to make an even richer flavored gravy and thicken it toward the end of cooking with some Wondra or a flour slurry.You can also start this the day before up until adding the vegetables. Remove the bones from the pot and refrigerate overnight. Before proceeding, skim off any fat that has congealed on the surface and continue with the recipe.I usually use half beef broth and half water.

FAVORITE HAMBURGER STEW
I got this hamburger stew recipe from a woman at our church, Lois Henry, when I needed a way to use up our bounty of home-canned tomatoes. My husband loves it, and I like that it's easy to warm up for a carefree dinner in the winter months. -Marcia Clay, Truman, Minnesota

MOM'S YUMMY HAMBURGER STEW
Mom made this a lot when I was growing up. It was always a hit on the table! Everyone will refill the bowl at least once or twice. V-8 is the secret! But, I think the addition of the celery seed is also a key. This is a fairly cheap meal to make. Mom made it a lot and it is one of my "Last Meal" requests. This stew is so...

MOM'S BEEF STEW (PRESSURE COOKER)
I grew up with this recipe and now I make it for my family...my picky hubby and kids gobble it right up...and it can be made so quickly in the pressure cooker. To make an easy Beef soup, omit the potatoes, add more water and a few boullions and serve with egg noodles or rice.

Steps:
- Cut the roast into chunks, about 1 inch (or larger if that is your preference). Heat oil in bottom of pressure cooker until hot and add the meat all at once (do not turn for at least 1 minute - you really want to let the meat sear - this gives the stew such yummy flavor.
- Stir the meat, letting it brown on all sides. Add the chopped garlic, stir for 1 minute, then add the onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, salt, pepper, parsley, water and optional beef bouillon(the bouillon gives a stronger flavor - you can also wait to see how it comes out, and if you feel that it's not flavorful enough, you can add the beef bouillon and boil the stew for a minute or so).
- Lock the pressure cooker lid in place and bring to high pressure over high heat.
- Cook 15 minutes.
- Cool pot immediately and serve. ENJOY!
- Optional ingredients - you can add some chopped tomatoes if you'd like before cooking, or after bringing it to pressure, you can throw in some canned mushrooms or frozen peas and heat thoroughly.

Steps:
- Coat stewing beef in flour, I use a colander so that the excess easily goes through.
- Heat a large pot, add oil and then beef and onion.
- Cook, stirring occasionally until the outside is browned (you are not cooking it; just giving it a crust).
- Add water, Worcestershire sauce, or wine and spices (except salt and pepper).
- Add one 14 oz can of tomato soup, depending on your taste you may or may not want to add some or all of the second can. Start with one.
- Simmer for approximately 2 hours (it really depends on the size of the pieces of stewing beef and if you want them firm or more towards the shredded stage.
- After the beef is close to your desired texture add vegetable, another partial or full can of soup, and pepper. Salt is optional, as the tomato soup contains salt. Cook for 20 min or until vegetables are cooked to your liking.
- Stir occasionally through the cooking process so that it does not stick.
- * this feeds four in my family but it should feed six (they just like it a lot so eat more than they normally would.
- * dumpling are a perfect companion to this recipe.
