Mock Beef Stew

So this week I decided to try a crock pot vegetarian style beef stew and I was amazed at how well it went! This particular recipe makes quite a lot so you may either choose to freeze it for later, take it to a family or church function, or simply cut the recipe in half.

You will need:

2 boxes organic vegetable broth
4-5 carrots, sliced
4 celery stalks, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup frozen peas
3 medium potatoes, diced
1 1/2 cups beef like TVP chunks
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup McKays beef like seasoning or to taste
4 bay leaves
1 Tbsp. onion powder
1/2 Tbsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. Garam Masala
Salt and pepper to taste


Combine vegetable broth and an equal amount of water in the crock pot then add all other ingredients. Place crock pot on low heat for about 10 hours or until all vegetables are tender. Serve hot with fresh baked biscuits.

I started my crock pot at 7:00 am and we did not get home to enjoy it until at least 5:30 pm, so this is an excellent recipe for those who work long hours! Enjoy!
