  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 -2 garlic clove, minced

  1. I served this with egg noodles, and I thought this was great! The meat could have been a little more tender, but that just might be due to the cut of beef (I used stewing beef), but everything else about this recipe was wonderful. The only change I made was to add a couple of splashes of worcestershire sauce because I love it with beef. I actually liked the sauce so much that I think I could've just used the beef for flavoring and eaten the final product without it! Next time I might try ground beef instead. Thanks for posting!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a mom and I love to cook. Started cooking when I was 20, and found I love to do it! I love to experiment with new stuff all the time, and I hate prepackaged foods and recipes that use them, so I always try to figure out the ingredients on my own to copy a recipe. I just don't think that opening a can of baked beans and adding something to it makes for homemade beans!!) My husband had a heart attack last year at the age of 39! So now, we try to eat a lot healthier. I am always looking for ways to get more veggies into him. In my recipes, I never add salt, but I post it here cuz I know most people still like the taste. It takes a while, but you get over it when you cut it out of your cooking. We don't even have a salt shaker anymore. Poor guests! I love that when I post something here, I can see the nutritional breakdown so I know what he can and can't have. I've printed all kinds of recipes that I've found here and made up a heart friendly cookbook for us.
