Nan's Beef & Noodles
The important components to the tastiest pot of beef & noodles are the rich broth, the right noodles, and low, slow cooking.
NOTES:
The broth ingredients may sound a bit odd, but trust me; it'll be SO flavorful! The addition of the red wine vinegar makes salt unnecessary....DON'T add salt!....and it tenderizes the beef. There won't be any vinegar flavor in the finished dish.
Cut your stew beef pieces in fourths. You want them smaller for more uniform distribution with the noodles.
DON'T substitute a different brand noodle. Reames frozen noodles are thick and chewy, hold up well to my slow cooking method (and when leftovers are reheated), and they add the perfect creamyness to the broth.

Nan's Hearty Beef Stew Nan's Hearty Beef Stew
This bourguignon-style hearty beef stew is a very flavorful comfort food that's relatively easy to prepare. A complete and balanced meal, it comes together in one pot (cast iron Dutch oven works best) that slow cooks in the oven. This would probably adapt well to cooking in a large countertop slow cooker, but I've not tried that method.I prefer using pork belly rather than bacon, but my grocery had run out. The only bacon I ever buy is Wright brand thick cut. It's excellent! I also love using whole garlic cloves in this because roast garlic is SO delicious (and I'm a junkie when it comes to garlic and onions). I buy the bag of already peeled fresh garlic cloves just to save a little work. The whole garlic cloves get a deep, roasted flavor and melt into the broth completely.Leftovers freeze really well and are just as delicious when reheated! I like to vacuum seal for the freezer. So don't skip making this because you're a 1 or 2 person household: you'll just have more leftovers to freeze and enjoy later on with no work at all!

Beef Noodle Soup Beef Noodle Soup
Beef Noodle Soup is the perfect comfort food—warm, rich, and super satisfying. The tender shaved ribeye melts into the flavorful beef broth, and the noodles soak up all that goodness. A handful of fresh greens adds a nice touch, and if you like a little heat, some chili oil takes it to the next level. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for warming up on a chilly day—or when the AC is cranked up too high! Enjoy!

Nan's Sizzling Rice Soup Nan's Sizzling Rice Soup
One of my very favorites, this quick soup is impressive and delicious. Prepare all the add-ins ahead of time, even the day before, and put them in a large divided dish, refrigerated until 30 minutes before dinner. Each person puts the ingredients they want into their empty soup bowl, the boiling hot soup is ladled in, then the hot fried rice cakes are added for the sizzle. While you can make your own rice cakes, the process is involved and time-consuming. I find it's MUCH easier to buy them (Asian market or Amazon).You can easily change up the optional ingredients to suit your own taste. Use as few or as many of the ingredients listed here. But don't skip the dried shitake mushrooms! They add a rich umami flavor to the broth that you don't get from fresh shitakes. And make sure when you dish it up you include enough broth in each bowl to accommodate the star, the sizzling rice cakes!#GoldenApron23 -

Nan's Mac & Cheese Nan's Mac & Cheese
My sister and I seem to be on an endless quest for the "perfect" mac & cheese. Thought our search had ended one night when we devoured some her son had made only to find out he "just threw it together" and couldn't even tell us what cheeses he'd used. They were "whatever I had in my fridge." He's never duplicated it. So this is my attempt.#GoldenApron23 -
