This is meant to be a thin brothed stew for bread dipping but, feel free to thicken it.

AKA: Corporate Stew

You can pan sear your meat before you cook it in your broth. However, it's not necessary to building any additional flavor or tenderizing the meat in this dish. She'll simmer far too long to worry about any of that.If you do chose to pan sear, allow your roast to sit out on the counter for 40 + minutes to relax and warm a bit. Then, season with sea salt / pepper and sear on high - on all sides - in oil in a cast iron skillet or comparison.

Wednesday's here in the O'Brien Shire are usually reserved for freezer, pantry and crisper thinning days. Here's what my energetic students created.Ten minutes prep time is all this comfort food takes for you and your family. In fact, two of my 8 year old students knocked this stew out in less than five early this morning. Seriously, just set it and forget it!

I tell ya. Anytime my seven and eight year old students tell me they want to work with something like oxtails - I'm on it like white sausage gravy on homemade biscuits!If you love beef stew - you'll love this stew as well! This is a rich, delicious, fatty stew that's perfect for Fall and Winter weather meals. Especially with warm fresh, soft bread for dipping! This is also a very forgiving recipe that allows you to add or subtract most any ingredient. Heck, one of my students even added last night's shredded Carnitas to his oxtail stew. Freaking delicious! Great work kiddos!Know that oxtails are a bit pricier than traditional roasts. About $10.00 per 1.5 pounds. But, they're definitely worth the extra cost.

Don't forget the warm flour Tortillas or chips for dipping!

Has been in the family for years was made when phil and his father would go fishing in the summer.

This was a yearly dish made around Easter time among polish families. Enjoy!

It will warm you up on a rainy day!

I came up with a way I could eat a lot of vegetables in one bowl.If you over-boil the potatoes, they will crumble, so once you add them to the pot, reduce the heat and simmer.You can add in some bacon or mixed seafood for a beautiful dinner. Recipe by Myuu samada

Well, it was Wednesday in the O'Brien Shire & those of you in the know - knows what that means. "Its clean out the crispers, freezers and rotate the pantries time!" With that, my 6 and 7 year old students can make anything their crazy little hearts desire. Today, rainy and windy as it is, they chose a tummy soothing peppered stew. Delicious work kiddos and great shortcuts! You know me well! I'm all about the shortcuts!
