Shrek’s Swamp Stew

Shrek’s Swamp Stew

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

  • 1 (32oz) carton 50% less sodium beef broth
  • 1 packet beef stew seasoning mix
  • 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 (16oz) bag frozen stew vegetables
  • 20 frozen homestyle meatballs
  • 4 sourdough bread rolls

How to Make:

  1. In a large pot, pour in your beef broth, seasoning mix, and flour. Now whisk it all up, making sure there are no clumps.
  2. For this step, you’ll need some help from a grown-up. Heat the broth mixture until it starts boiling. Then, bring the heat down to simmer the broth until it thickens (this usually takes 5 minutes – perfect time for a snack!)
  3. Now, add your stew vegetables and meatballs to the broth, heating them until they’re cooked through and hot, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Now for the fun part – making the bread bowls! With the help of a grow-up, cut the top off the sourdough bread rolls and scoop out the inside, leaving an inch of bread on all sides.
  5. Scoop 1 1⁄2 cups of stew into each bowl and serve hot!
  6. Enjoy!
