Merlot Sauce With Beef
"I found this recipe on the back of a can of Fred Meyer (aka Kroeger) beef broth. I added a can of cut green beans as we like them. But, I have submitted the original recipe. You can add whatever else you like and it still turns out great. I even made it with some leftover pot roast one time. Very versatile. I also used the reduced sodium chicken and beef broths. This can be a healthier meal if you use the low sodium broth and margarine instead of butter."

I am married, have three children and two grandchildren. My youngest "oops" baby is just turning 17 and is going to be a senior in high school in the fall.. I love to cook and collect recipes. I get a lot of my good recipes from church potlucks. Since I am now retired and a stay at home mom, I have time to search the RecipeZaar site and try a lot of the recipes. We love living on the coast and would never move back inland!
