Tasty Tuesday- St. Patrick's Day Menu

Hi Lovelies!

Since St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, I thought I would make a St. Patrick's Day themed menu. I think I will start off with this delish looking Irish Beef Stew.

Irish Beef Stew

 1-1/2 lb.  boneless beef round steak, trimmed, cut into bite-size pieces

2 Tbsp.  flour

2 Tbsp.  oil

1 large  onion, coarsely chopped

1 can  (14-1/2 oz.) beef broth

1 can  (14-1/2 oz.) stewed tomatoes, undrained

1 env.  (0.8 oz.) GOOD SEASONS Garlic & Herb Dressing Mix

1 lb.  red potatoes (about 3), cut into 3/4-inch chunks

3 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices

4 cups  hot cooked noodles

Make It

COAT meat with flour. Heat oil in Dutch oven or large deep skillet on medium-high heat. Add meat and onions; cook and stir 5 to 8 min. or until meat is evenly browned. Stir in broth, tomatoes and dressing mix. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally; cover. Simmer on low heat 15 min., stirring occasionally.
 
ADD potatoes and carrots; simmer, covered, 45 min. or until meat is tender and sauce is thickened, uncovering after 30 min. and stirring occasionally.
 
SERVE over noodles. 

Then, I would make these yummy looking biscuits

 

One-Bowl Cheddar Biscuits

What You Need

2-1/4 cups  all-purpose baking mix

1/2 cup  KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese

2 Tbsp.  chopped fresh herbs

1/4 cup  BREAKSTONE'S Sour Cream

2 Tbsp.  GREY POUPON Dijon Mustard

1/3 cup  milk

1 egg, beaten

12 fresh Italian parsley leaves

Make It

PLACE dough on surface lightly dusted with additional baking mix; knead 10 times. Pat into 1/2-inch-thick circle. Cut with 2-inch biscuit cutter dusted with baking mix. Place biscuits, 2 inches apart, on baking sheet. Brush lightly with egg; top with parsley. Brush with remaining egg.
HEAT oven to 425°F.
 
COMBINE baking mix, cheese and herbs in large bowl. Mix sour cream and mustard in small bowl. Gradually stir in milk. Add to baking mix mixture; stir just until moistened.
 
BAKE 12 to 15 min. or until lightly browned. Serve warm. 

I think I will round out the menu with this delish looking dessert.

 Grasshopper Parfaits

What You Need

 

15 OREO Cookies, finely chopped (about 1-1/2 cups)

10 chocolate-covered mint patties, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)

2 pkg.  (3.9 oz. each) JELL-O Chocolate Instant Pudding

1 qt.  (4 cups) cold milk

2 to 4 drops  green food coloring

2 cups  thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

Make It

COMBINE chopped cookies and mint patties.
 
BEAT pudding mixes and milk with whisk 2 min. Let stand 5 min. Meanwhile, stir food coloring into COOL WHIP until blended.
 
LAYER half each of the pudding, COOL WHIP and cookie mixture evenly in 12 parfait glasses. Repeat layers. Refrigerate 30 min. 

I plan on making each of these dishes with a few modifications to each one so that Husby can enjoy them. I will post pics with a review of each recipe. I can't wait to make this menu, it's going to be so much fun!

Have a terrific Tuesday!
