Pumpkin Beef Stew

September 27, 2011 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 2 Comments

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday!!

I think I should start off by telling you how much fun I am having blogging.  I like the idea of being creative, it makes my brain think!   🙂  I get excited when I get new ideas and I look so forward to sharing them with you.    I am glad I picked everything Pumpkin this week, its really fun trying to create new and old things with pumpkin.  A lot of the recipes I show you are new to me too and if they turn out good (I wouldn’t post them if I thought they were bad or I will show you my flop) it’s a double plus in my book.  Like the Pumpkin Cheesecake and Pumpkin Pancakes, those are two of my new favorites and will definitely make rotation in my meal plans.

So whats up with today’s recipe?  It’s Pumpkin Beef Stew! Mmmm, comfort food!  I know the combo sounds weird, but it’s not!  The pumpkin made the stew creamy without a huge pumpkin taste, just real subtle.  I added a pinch of cinnamon to give it a sweetness.  As for today’s blog title “He didn’t know” it’s for my Husband who had no clue pumpkin was in it.  If I told him, he wouldn’t of liked it.  He’s a picky eater, A total meat and potato man!  He he!!  I knew he would like it.  It was so good!

 


When I was at the bakery this morning, I found these cute rolls, and I automatically thought of stew!  Originally I was going to make pumpkin chili, but beef stew was calling me.  Can you see why?

 

This recipe was very easy to make.  I recommend trying it in the crockpot.  The meat would be super tender and would shred.  Just add the pumpkin about an hour before it’s done and I think that would be perfect!  Also if your a vegetarian, you could omit the beef and add black beans, that would be very good too!!  Do you like the little bread hat?

 

I really liked this in a bread bowl because the bread got mushy and was easy to cut with a fork.  So perfect!

 

Pumpkin Beef Stew

Ingredients:

1/2 Tbsp. of Olive Oil

3/4lbs of Lean Beef Stew Meat

1/12 (half of a 1/4cup) of Whole Wheat Flour

1/4 cup of diced onion

1 clove of garlic – minced

2 Cups of Beef or Vegetable Stock (I used vegetable)

28 oz can of diced tomatoes

1 Cup of Baby potatoes (I used a mix of red, white & purple)

1/2 cup of frozen corn

1 Large carrot – sliced

1 tsp of Thyme

1tsp of Rosemary

1 tsp. Ground Cinnamon

1 tsp. Chili Powder

1/2 Tsp of Smokey Paprika

1/2 Cup of Canned Pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling)

Salt & Pepper to taste

Optional:

Bread Bowl and Parmesan Cheese

Directions:

In a ziplock bag add your beef and sprinkle with flour.  Heat Olive Oil in a large pot.  Once it’s warm add your Beef and cook each side till browned (about 2 minutes per side).  Then take the beef out and set aside.

In the same Pot, add additional olive oil if needed and saute your onions and garlic till brown(about 3 minutes).  Add all your remaining ingredients to the pot, except for the pumpkin.  Stir well, add your beef back into the pot.  Cook for 1/2 hour then add the pumpkin.  Give it a nice stir.  Cook until vegetables and meat are tender.  The longer it cooks, the more tender and delicious it will be.  I cooked mine for about an hour, but could have done it longer, but I was hungry!!

If you have a bread bowl or a HUGE sandwich roll, cut out the top and carve a little bit of the middle out.  Don’t do it to much or the stew will soak through.  Sprinkle with cheese.

Makes about 6 – 1 cup servings

Calories for 1 serving of stew only:

Look at all those veggies pouring out of my bread bowl.  This was delish!!

 

Little Bread cubes on top!!  I LOVE Bread!  My biggest downfall.

 

It even looks like a little pumpkin!  Enjoy!!!!

      Pumpkin Mac sounds good! The more I think of it, the better it sounds. You have to let me know how it turns out. I love pumpkin so much, I may extend my pumpkin week. I have so many ideas flying through my head. I thought I would be sick of pumpkin now, but I’m not! 🙂

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and rain. I’m still blown away by this crazy weather. It feels like it’s never going to end. I just hope everyone is safe.
🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
