1 bruce 1 My MIL's cousin used to give her a humongous garbage bag of beef bones whenever they butchered. She used them for broth. One year, she decided she wasn't dealing with the bones and gave them to me. I roasted them with carrots, onions, celery, etc and made several quarts of lovely beef broth for the freezer. Since then, I get the bones! I pay them back with a couple batches of cookies, sometimes some loaves of bread, a pie or two, whatever I bake. It works.We're thinking, since fall weather has arrived, that a big old pot of beef stew with home made broth would be a good thing, too, to share.
We have 1/2 steer coming our way to fill the freezer so beef dishes that are simple, comforting and well liked by 99% of people are welcome from anyone in this thread.
A big beef favorite around here is pot pie. The beef is simmered in a Dutch oven with potatoes and onions. The dough is rolled out, cut into squares and dropped into the simmering beef and broth. Rick could eat a whole kettle of pot pie. And when our kids are coming up and I ask them what they want for dinner, it's always beef pot pie.

Tonight will just be leftover ziti. Rick has a union meeting and he's bowling right after that. He'll have just enough time to get home from his meeting, grab a quick shower, grab supper, and take off again. I can nuke a plate in the microwave while he's getting dressed.
