directions

  • Melt butter/ heat up oil in large stockpot or sauce pan (depending on how large a recipe you are making) and saute onions and carrots until tender.
  • Stir in flour and cook one minute.
  • Gradually add beef broth and bring to a boil stir constantly.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, tomato sauce, worcestershire, oregano and ground meat.
  • Cover pan and reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or so.
  • At this point it is ready to freeze in freezer bags after cooling if you like. I like to freeze my mashed potatoes in freezer bags and then thaw both overnight in fridge and then assemble.
  • I like to serve it to my family at this point with Perfect Mashed Potatoes on the side as that is how my kids like this.
  • However, you can also pour into a sprayed baking dish (8x8 if one recipe), top with Perfect Mashed Potatoes and bake at 400 for 20-30 minutes until heated through.

I am a teacher turned stay at home mom to 3 girls and a boy with one more baby on the way! I love cooking and trying new recipes weekly. I also participate in a monthly meal exchange with 6 other large families...we swap main dishes and sometimes side dishes as well. It is awesome filling my freezer with homemade food compared to store bought foods. <br> <br>I love making recipes that I can freeze. Some of my favorite cookbooks are related to freezer cooking: Holly Clegg Freezer Favorites, 30 Day Gourmet cookbook, and church cookbooks.
