Experiment: Beef Stew

Ingredients: Pre-cooked stew meat, frozen stew vegetables (carrots, celery, onions, potatoes), beef broth, flour, thyme, onion powder, salt, pepper

Texture: Added the flour to give it a little thickness.  This resulted in the potatoes and flour getting all mushy.  It didn’t end up with the consistency I intended.

Taste: I was trying to find a way to use up pre-cooked stew meat and decided to throw it in with some broth and frozen veggies.  I added the thyme which I had on hand and it didn’t have much flavor.  When heating up the leftovers I added salt, pepper, and garlic powder which made it a little more bearable.  I’m told I really need a bay leaf.

Overall, not bad for an experiment, using up some things I already had.  I’m sure making it from scratch would have been exponentially better.

Overall rating: 3/10
