Recipe Introduction
*****************
I do all the prep work the night before and get the first stage ready and refrigerate in the pot so that I can start it as I head out to work in the morning. Then I add the rest of the ingredients to the pot when I come home. That gives me time to relax a bit before eating dinner.
List of Ingredients
1 lb lean beef stew meat
6 cups water
1 can (28 oz) tomatoes with liquid, cut up
1 beef bouillon cube
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tbsp minced dried parsley
2-1/2 tsp salt (optional)
1-1/2 tsp ground thyme
1/2 tsp pepper
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
2 cups finely chopped cabbage
1 can (16 oz) garbanzo beans, drained
1 cup uncooked small elbow or shell macaroni
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Recipe
In a slow cooker, combine beef, water, tomatoes, bouillon, onion, parsley, salt if desired, thyme and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours or until meat is tender.
Add zucchini, cabbage, beans and macaroni; cook on high, covered, 30-45 minutes more or until the vegtables are tender.
Sprinkle individual servings with Parmesan cheese if desired.
