¼ cup water

1 teaspoon beef bouillon powder or granules

4 hoagie buns, split

Provolone cheese slices

Directions-

1. Combine butter & onion rings in a bowl to coat them

2. Sprinkle steak strips with garlic-pepper seasoning and salt

3. In 3 to 4 quart slow cooker, layer half of the onions, all the steak strips and the bell pepper. Top with remaining half of onions

4. In measuring cup, combine water and bouillon, stirring until dissolved

5. Pour over mixture in slow cooker

6. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours

7. Approximately 10 minutes before serving, place bun halves, open faced on ungreased cookie sheet

9. Scoop beef mixture with a slotted spoon onto the bottom halves of the buns

10. Top with provolone slices and broil a few inches from the heat until cheese is melted and top buns are toasted

You can also save back the juices and use them for au jus to dip your sandwich in.

Great served with spicy or seasoned potato wedges.

The Way to a Man's Heart- Taryn Raye's Beef Stew & Rolls

This recipe is an all day Crockpot recipe, so prep early. Around here we love beef stew, but the idea of it out of a can these days just doesn't sound appetizing, so I decided to give it a try myself and see what I could come up with. Having fresh beef and vegetables makes ALL the difference. My husband won't buy the kind in a can anymore and the kids love it, too.

Ingredients-

1-2 lbs Stew Beef or Round Steak

3 Packages of Brown Gravy Mix (I believe the brand I use is Pioneer)

3-4 Carrots, peeled and cut in rounds

3- 4 Celery Stalks, sliced

Med to Large Onion, sliced

Potatoes, peeled, rinsed and cut in bite-sized cubes

Beef Bouillon (preferably powder or granules to cubes- no waiting to dissolve it in water)

Water

Salt & Pepper (to taste)

Tablespoon of Butter

Directions-

1. Combine all vegetables into a Dutch oven with water, salt, pepper & tablespoon of butter
2. Bring to boil for approximately 5 minutes
3. While veggies are taking a hot bath, cut stew beef or round steak into bite sized pieces.
4. Toss beef with a teaspoon or two of beef bouillon powder or granules in a bowl
5. Save back hot water in Dutch oven, scoop out partially cooked veggies with a wide slotted spoon
6. Alternately layer meat and veggies in a crock pot or slow cooker
7. Mix 3 packets gravy with enough of the hot water from veggies to fill crock pot and cover meat and vegetables
8. Cook 8-9 hours on low, stirring occasionally, if possible
9. Serve with yeast rolls
