    I wish I lived closer I would come and help you out with some meals!!

    I really think we need to do this more for our neighbours!!

    Beef stew... do you have a slow cooker? I don't (LOL) I brown my stewing steak at about 11am in a large saucepan. Then add plenty of water and simmer till about 3:30 (add more water if you need to at any stage), then add your vegies (chunky potatoes, peas, carrots... whatever). Cook until they are tender and then thicken it with either gravy or corn flour, if you use corn flour you will need to salt the stew. Put some gravy or corn flour into a bowl add some water to make a paste. Add it slowly to the stew while stirring. Add enough to thicken the stew. Let it cool and then put it in some containers and freeze

    Have fun

    ETA: D'oh... LOL.

    ETA, again... if you do give this a go, I have found that buying a roast and cutting it up at home is the cheapest
