Ingredients

  • 2 Pounds Stew Meat or 1" cubes of any steak
  • 1/2 Cup Margarine

  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Onion chopped or 2 Tablespoon Dried Minced Onions
  • 2 teaspoons Onion Powder
  • 1 Clove Garlic minced or 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric
  • 1-8 oz. Can Sliced Mushrooms or 2 Cups Fresh Mushrooms sliced
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • Hot Cooked Egg Noodles or Rice

Instructions

  • Place the beef, mushrooms and onion in a 5-qt. slow cooker.
  • In a microwave safe dish/cup melt margarine. Add bouillon to margarine; stir to dissolve. Add onion powder, garlic powder, basil, salt, pepper, turmeric to broth; mix.
  • Pour margarine mixture over meat. Stir meat to coat; mix well.
  • Cook for 4-6 hours on LOW setting. Stir once, halfway. If using HIGH temperature and meat appears to be getting done quickly, turn down to LOW.

  • Serve over egg noodles or rice.

Notes

* 1 Tablespoon beef bouillon granules or ground up bouillon cubes can be substituted for Better Than Bouillon.
Do not add water - stew meat will produce plenty of moisture.
