"I love pot roast, but since I live alone, I find it easier to cook stew meat," Roberta Young writes from San Diego, California. "I cook 3 pounds of lean beef stew meat or a roast I cut up myself...whatever's on sale. Then I make my recipe for Beef Stew Mix, divide it up in three containers and freeze. You can alter the seasonings, if you wish."
