Thieves Stew for Crocktoberfest!

Thieves Stew for Crocktoberfest!  This is a recipe my son told me about.  He saw it on Tic Tok by a fellow called Quincy.  I am not on TicToc but the link he sent worked and I could watch the video.

If you look for it there the video shows you the step-by-step but there is an error in the cooking time.  It states cook on high for 8 hours. No!

I told my son and his brain had corrected it to LOW because c'mon....high heat for that long would result in shoe leather.  But I did try it and I cooked on low for about 6 to 7 hours.  It was delicous!



This uses some convenience items but it was great and we are making it again this week.



Thieves Stew

1 chopped onion
8 ounces of chopped mushrooms (I used way more)
salt and pepper
2 cans of cream of mushroom soup
3 and bit more cups of beef broth
2 -3 pound beef roast
Egg noodles - uncooked

Add all ingredients EXCEPT the egg noodles.  Cook on low approximately 7 hours then stir in about 10 ounces of uncooked egg noodles.  Put the lid on and when the noodles are cooked in 30 minutes you can eat.

This is my last post for Crocktoberfest.  This one is hearty and good for fall or winter weather, in my opinion.

Crocktoberfest!

I'm taking a break from the book talk today to share some slow cooker recipes.

Jinjer told me about CrocktoberFest!  Here are a couple of easy meals. 

👇👇👇


The BBQ shredded chicken couldn't be easier.  Take boneless skinless chicken thighs and place them in your slow cooker.  I have an oval 6 quart slow cooker for this one.

Place it on high for 3 hours. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken and place in a bowl for shredding.  Drain all the juice from the crock and place shredded chicken back in.  Cover with BBQ sauce and heat up on low for a bit.  This makes great sandwiches. 

We have had this on buns or straight on to the plate.  Sides are whatever you like. 👇

This was my last post on the food blog! Some folks just had to tell me they get theirs from Costco but I like doing this one at home.  Less greasy.

I have a good one with beef and noodles coming up called Thieves Stew.  See you later with another Crocktober post and then back to books and life :-)
