Looking for an easy crock pot meal?  Then this Beef  'n Beer Casserole recipe is for you.  This is  a recipe where you just put all the ingredients into the crock pot slow cooker and stir it occasionally during cooking.  Nothing really can go wrong with it, so if you are a novice cook this is the beef recipe for you.   Put it up and put it on in the morning and your dinner is cooked when you come home from work.

Beef  'n Beer Casserole

2.5lbs (1kg)of topside other steak, cut into chunks
1 cup beef stock
3/4 cup beer
3 tabs tomato puree
1 tab minced garlic
1 carrot and onion chopped
1 stick celery chopped
bouquet garni *
sprinkle of oregano
Place all ingredients into crock pot and cook on low for 8 - 10 hours. Stir once or twice only and thicken with a little flour or gravy mix 15 minutes before serving. Remove bouquet garni and serve with vegetables and rice or mashed potato.  This beef n' beer casserole serves 4 servings.

As there are only 2 of us I freeze half the quantity and have it for another meal later in the week.  If I am in a hurry I can then just defrost it, heat and serve with crusty bread for a quick meal.

* bouquet garni - I make my own by tying together a bay leaf, some parsley stalks and a sprig of thyme.
