I need beef recipes
Apparently DH is "chickened out" (what can I say? I like chicken 
) so I need some ideas! About the only things I make with beef are tacos/burritos, meatloaf, hamburgers, and beef fajitas. He can't do tomato sauce so stuff like spaghetti is out.
I'll go through my recipe books tomorrow, but I'm feeling clueless since chicken is my go to--any ideas/recipes? TIA

Re: I need beef recipes
We don't eat beef too often either...but one thing I used to make that D loved was just a taco layered casserole. It is my own spin on a traditional casserole. I took like a 9in pie plate and sprayed it with Pam. Layer in a flour tortilla with some refried beans (or whatever you like) spread on to it, then hamburger meat, queso (velvetta and rotel), and shredded cheese. Layer that up 3 to 4 times and end with a tortilla on top with any left over queso and/or shredded cheese and bake like 20 minutes or just until the top tortilla is starting to brown.
I usually serve it up like a pie slice with some salad mex corn and occasionally rice.
We love Beef Tips and Noodles.
Pressure cook beef tips. Boil about 1/2 - 3/4 bag of egg noodles. Once meat and noodles are cooked mix them together along with two cans of Campbell's Beefy Mushroom soup and about 1/2 cup of the beef broth from the cooked beef tips.
Other ideas: beef stroganoff, chicken fried steak, beef tenderloin.
Check out PW's Tasty Kitchen website.
I don't cook with alot of beef either. Since it's cold out beef stew is pretty easy to make.
I usually make mine in the crockpot. Stew pieces, carrots, potatoes, and a packet of the slow cooker stew mix. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4. I usually serve it with cornbread.
I've also made this before and it turns out so good!
Ingredients:
Preparation:
Add the beef broth and wine. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour, or until beef is tender. Meanwhile, cook noodles, following package directions. Drain and keep warm.
To the beef mixture add sour cream and flour mixture; stir, cooking, until hot. Add noodles and heat through.
Serves 4 to 6.
I also found this crockpot recipe for easy Beef Stroganoff. I think I might even try it.
Cook Time: 9 hours

I love doing beef pot roast because it's really good and so easy. Basically, go buy a roast (eye of round roasts are very cheap with very little fat, but they don't have a TON of flavor. I generally prefer rump roasts though... a little more fat, but still manageable, with more flavor) that is around 1-2 pounds for the two of you. Season it however you want (I use Penzey's Chicago Steak Seasoning, but even good old salt and pepper will do). Toss it in the crock pot, add some water, and let it go all day!
When you're close to wanting to eat, drain the water and put in a saucepan, and add more water if you want. Add a few beef bullion cubes, and boil. Meanwhile, melt butter (if you want to do it "traditionally," melt 1/4 stick for every 1 cup of water in the pan, but I think you can go a little less). Mix the melted butter with several tablespoons of flour until it's kind of gummy, and then pour into the water. Whisk, let it sit for five minutes, season if necessary, and voila! Delicious gravy.
I think it goes without saying this gets served with mashed potatoes. And there are always leftovers for the next day's lunch or dinner. This is one of DH's favorite meals.
my bookshelf!
Bloggy
I make a thing like shepard's pie. Brown ground beef, add green beans (this is the only thing I like canned green beans for), tomato soup, water. Top with mashed potatoes with cheese and fried onions.
I don't eat much beef. I can't tell you the last time I bought beef.
Drip Beef Sandwiches
(Boymom's H can vouch for these... haha)
Ingredients:
3-4 lbs chuck roast
tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp rosemary
3/4 tsp lawry's seasoning salt
2 beef bouillion cubes
1/2 cup water
**Throw it all in a crock pot and cook on high for 5-6 hours or on low for 7. When cooked through, remove fat, shred and return to crock pot. Serve on hoagie rolls or slider buns.
Easy and DELISH.
