Beef & Beer Stew

A great way to use that one lingering bottle in your fridge left over after a party, when you don’t even drink beer.

 

1-2 lbs stewing beef cubes, frozen

1 bottle of beer (any brand)

2 tsp paprika

1 tsp thyme

1 beef bouillon

Cubed potatoes, carrots, sliced mushrooms (optional)

1 tsp flour

 

In a 2-quart crockpot, combine all but last two ingredients. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 5 hours. When meat is tender, add potatoes, carrots and/or mushrooms. Stir in flour until blended, season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking on low until sauce becomes thickened.  Mangia!
