Helpful hint
- Double the ingredients for the crock pot. When beef is tender, reserve one half of the cooked beef, cool and freeze for later use. When reusing, allow frozen beef mixture to thaw in refrigerator overnight. Reheat slowly over medium heat. Mix the sour cream, flour and water until smooth. Blend into reheated beef mixture and cook until thickened.
- Look for reduced sodium broth containing 500 milligrams sodium or less per 1 cup serving. Avoid low sodium broths and bouillons that contain potassium chloride—it’s very high in potassium. Some suggested brands include Kitchen Basics Natural Beef Stock (www.kitchenbasics.net), or Swanson 50% Less Sodium Beef Broth (www.swansonbroth.com).
- Cooking sherry contains added salt; use regular sherry instead.
