This recipe originally came from my sister-in-law, Jonelle. She is an amazing cook. I’ve adapted it to use THRIVE ingredients. Using THRIVE made this a very simple and easy meal since all the veggies are all pre-cut and the meat is pre-cut and precooked! I made this last night and it was tasty:

Combine tomato powder, water, sage, salt, bullion, pepper, garlic salt and worcestershire sauce in a microwave safe bowl. Heat on high for 2 min.

- I left the sage, pepper, garlic salt and worcestershire sauce out this last time since those are not ingredients you can get from THRIVE Life (formerly Shelf Reliance). It still tasted great. However, those are all items I keep in my food storage anyway.
- You can also make this very quickly over the stove (not in a crockpot). Just boil everything for about 10-15 minutes to make sure it is all well hydrated.

Hi. I like your recipes with the Thrive food but I wasted 5 extra pages on the beef stew recipe because you do not have a “print” button. That would be a great addition to your site unless I missed it somehow. Thanks
I added the print function to the site about 6 months ago, so all the newer recipes have them. I have to go back one by one and add it to each of the older recipes and it just hasn’t been top on the priority list. I get to about 1-2 a week. (-: One thing you can do to save on paper those is just copy and paste the recipe portion in to Word or another another similar program. Then, you will have not waste! I will continue trying to get the recipes updated and appreciate knowing that my efforts will be appreciated!
Thank you Karol. You are very kind. I would be happy to help you if you ever have any specific questions!
Your website is absolutely amazing! I have never seen anything so complete and with such awesome "eye-appeal". I can't wait to try your beef stew recipe tomorrow. I'll post again after we taste it. You are so generous to share with the rest of us. I really wish you were my sister and lived close enough to help me figure out such a great way to market this marvelous product. I admire your creativity….Thank you and best wishes.
