Dear stan,
Gather the family together this week for an easy fall supper.

Easy Autumn Beef Stew
Fully-cooked boneless beef pot roast makes this simple stew a snap to prepare. Adding a few ingredients — mushrooms, onions, red wine and marjoram — takes the dish to a whole new level. Serve over noodles, and pair with crusty bread and a green salad for a complete meal. View recipe

Your Weekly Beef

You asked, we answered. Keep the questions coming!

Q: I love the ease of buying frozen ready-to-cook ground beef patties. What's the best way to ensure I'm cooking them properly?
A: In addition to following manufacturer's directions on the package of frozen ground beef patties, cook to 160°F. Remember frozen patties may take extra cooking time vs. fresh patties to reach the correct internal temperature. A thermometer is the best way to ensure safety and determine the doneness of meat. Check out more information on cooking with ground beef.
