Ingredients:
6 slices bacon
1 -1 1/2 lb beef, cubed
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup dry red wine
1 knorr beef bouillon cubes
1 1/2 cups water
1 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium onions, chopped
6 medium potatoes, cut into large chunks
3 carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
1 cup frozen green beans
Directions:
Cook bacon until crisp and then crumble it.
Reserve pan drippings.
Cut beef into cubes.
Shake a few cubes at a time in a paper bag containing the flour, salt, and pepper.
Brown beef cubes on all sides in bacon drippings.
Put beef cubes in a 9 x 13 pan or a 3 quart casserole.
Pour wine and beef bouillon (1 beef bouillon cube dissolved in 1 1/2 cups of heated water) over beef Cover casserole with lid or foil and bake at 350 F for one hour.
Stir the crumbled bacon, potatoes, onion, garlic, carrots, and green beans into meat mixture.
Cover and bake 1 hour longer or until vegetables are done.
I usually season the final product with a little more salt and pepper.
I serve this with steamed rice.
Note: If you do not have wine, substitute it with 1 cup of water and the casserole will still taste great.
