With the weather cooling off, and football season in full swing, head on into the kitchen and toss this super easy and delicious Slow Cooker Hearty Steak and Pasta Soup together for tonight!
We are all busy moms. I find that the more kitchen hacks I can find that make my job easier, the better off I am. I love anything that will help simplify or streamline the process. This leads me to items such as my slow cooker
The slow cooker has actually been around since 1970 and its name is often considered interchangeable with the ever popular Crock Pot. Whichever you prefer, you really do end up with almost identical results in your prepared dishes, so no worries if you opt to make this dish in a slow cooker or a crock pot.
One of the best parts about using a slow cooker is that you can purchase and use cuts of meat that might ordinarily be a bit tough. However, the moist heat method used when cooking with a slow cooker or Crockpot can greatly tenderize even the most stubborn of stew meats leaving you with a fall-apart when pierced with your fork delicacy.
If saving money is important to you the less expensive cuts of meat that you can utilize becomes vitally important as beef stew meat is often significantly less expensive to purchase, and if you are feeding a crowd (or just some hungry boys like me), more is definitely better!
So, with the weather cooling off, football season in full swing, head on into the kitchen and toss this super easy and delicious recipe together for tonight.
Oh, and did I mention that the addition of a bit of pasta makes it even more filling? Here is what you will need to start, and then the beauty, you can walk away while your appliance does all the work!
