Beef Casserole Base image

This base is meant to be divided into 3 portions which can be frozen for up to 3 months. All you have to do then is thaw the base (put it out in the morning) and decide if you want to make Recipe#48837, Recipe#48838 or Recipe#48839 (all recipes posted here on Zaar). In under 20 minutes you can have a fantastic meal for 4 ready, and it will taste like you have been cooking all day! The meat in this comes out so tender and the casseroles are all delicious.
