New Mrs Dash Seasonings=yummy salt free beef stew
I found a great new product at Kroger this weekend- Mrs Dash salt free seasoning mixes. They were about $1.50 each and come in taco, chili, and beef stew seasonings. May be more varieties but those are all I saw. Since I had some stew meat in the fridge and they had a great sale on mixed exotic mushrooms, I decided to give them a try. It was delicious. I just followed the directions on theback of the package and used olive oil instead of vegetable oil to cook the meat. When the meat was cooked, I removed it from the pan and added about 1/4 cup red wine and 2 cups sliced mushrooms to the pan and sautéed until done. Then returned the meat to the pan and added carrots, diced potatoes ( I used frozen Obrien hashbrowns) and pearl onions. Then about 4 cups water or beef broth depending on how hearty you want it. Simmer for about 2 hours until veggies are soft and serve with crusty bread, salad and an ice cold beer. I chose a Shocktop Lemon Shandy to give this winter stew a summer feel and it was the perfect end to a long day:)
