How To Make western beef stew

Add sauteed vegetables to potatoes and carrots. Stir in Braised Beef Cube Mix. Simmer about 15 minutes, until heated through. Serve hot.

    **MOIST PIE CRUST MIX Combine flour and salt in a very large bowl. Mix well. With pastry blender, cut in shortening until evenly distributed. Mixture will resemble cornmeal in texture. Add cold water all at once and mix lightly until the flour absorbs all the water and texture resembles putty. If dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little flour over the top and mix until the dough barely clings together in the bowl. Divide dough into 10 oblongs rolls. Wrap each roll well with plastic wrap and heavy foil. Freeze. Use within 12 months. Makes 10 rolls of Moist Pie Crust Mix, enough for 10 double-crust pies or 20 single crust pies.
