Sunday Dinner Beef Stew

I just discovered a few weeks ago (by accident) these great McCormick Bag 'N Season.  

I thought I was buying spices for my crock pot only to find that you make this beef stew in the oven.  

It only takes 1 1/2 hours so it is a bit quicker than a crock pot if you need dinner sooner than later.

I had a chance to visit the McCormick factory in Baltimore back in '80s.  

It was very interesting to see the place where all these creative ideas come from : )

I love meat from the butcher in white paper.

It's the little things : )

 I always forget to buy celery.  But, I have onions, carrots and potatoes.

Sometimes when I cook I use toooo many potatoes.   Dinner turns into potatoes with chicken or potatoes with meat : )  

So this time I only used 2 potatoes : )

 Place it all in the bag....

 Mix the spices with 1 1/2 cups water, 1/4 cup flour and provided spices.

Tie with provided tie.



Place bag on it's side and poke 4 small holes.

  


Bake for 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees.
It puffs up like this.



Let is rest for 5 minutes.



Enjoy!
