Introduction

This is the base for beef stew, pot pie or other beef dishes.

We use it as an all-purpose base to start the week's recipes.

For example, Monday is beef and gravy on rice, part of the leftovers on Tuesday become pot pie, Wednesday uses another bit of the leftovers with some sour cream and egg noodles. Thursday sees the last of the leftovers turned into vegetable soup or beef stew. By Friday we are tired of beef and eat vegetables. This is the base for beef stew, pot pie or other beef dishes.
