Sweet-and-Sour Beef

101 Things to Do With a Slow Cooker, p. 59

2 pound stew meat, cubed

1 bottle (10 ounces) sweet-and-sour sauce

1 cup shredded carrots

4-6 cups hot cooked rice

Combine all ingredients in greased 2 to 3 ½-quart slow cooker. 

Orange sploosh!

Cover and cook on low heat 6-8 hours. Ladle over hot cooked rice.

Serve with vegetable stir fry.

Served with a chicken egg roll and a little bottle of champagne from New Year's that I found at the back of my fridge. 

My Rating: 4/5 "I don't think I've ever though of beef as a meat to mix with sweet and sour sauce, but it worked! The carrots added a little visual appeal to the mix as well as the illusion of nutritional value. Cheaper than takeout, that's for sure."
