Slow Sour Creamed Beef

This was the easiest and tastiest beef I've made in a long time and all because I needed to use up some freezer food, as we're moving soon! Anybody can make this, whether you're confident in the kitchen or not. The sour cream doesn't really taste like sour cream anymore and my husband who HATES sour cream absolutely loved this dish. So don't let that ingredient stop you from making it! The sauce is super yummy over perogies, rice, or pasta. The beef is so tender that it melts in your mouth! (and this is poor quality stewing beef that I used!). But you need to plan ahead as it takes four hours to cook slowly in your oven. This could easily be turned into a slow cooker recipe. Okay on to the recipe...

Shawna's Slow Sour Creamed Beef

2 lbs stewing beef

2 cups water

2 tbsp beef oxo

salt & pepper

garlic powder or the real deal

1 cup sour cream

Combine everything except for the sour cream and put in large roaster. Cook at 250 degrees F for four hours. Remove beef with slotted spoon after cooking, and place in frying pan with sour cream. Sour cream will melt and coat, about 5 min. Transfer into casserole dish, add a couple tbsp of the beef juice from the roaster to the beef mixture for taste and to thin it a bit. Pop the casserole dish back into the still warm (but now shut off oven) until the rest of your supper is ready!
