Hearty Beef and Butternut Squash Stew

With the new Extreme Meal plan there were several new recipe's!!  I love getting new ideas, especially for dinners, especially QUICK dinners for when we're really on the go with hockey, play dates and after school fun.

Here's a great 21 Day Fix approved recipe that you can prep the night before and know when you're on the go, you're getting a healthy and filling meal.

It's called Hearty Beef and Butternut Squash Stew.

I prepped this the night before and then we had a play date at our place, but lucky this was already made for us.  This was the first time I had made this and we had company, so thankfully it was good and my friend liked it too ;)

Here's all you need:

1tsp olive oil
1 1/2 lbs raw lean stewing beef (cubed)
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 cup low-sodium organic been broth
1 bay leaf
1tsp sea salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 cups cubed butternut squash
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley 

Throw all of these ingredients in the slow cooker store in the fridge if you prepped the night before.  Pull it out and set on low for 6 hours and your healthy meal is done!

Makes 6 servings, plenty for the whole family

Counts as 1 RED, 1 GREEN
