[quote=Anonymous]Have you thought about a stew?  Throw it in the crock pot in the morning and you can eat any time.  Here's an old family recipe of mine that I've updated:

Labskaus (Norwegian sailor's stew)

This recipe serves 6, but the quantities are really easy to adjust.

1.5 lbs. beef for stewing - cut into appx. 1" cubes
6 potatoes, also cubed
1 onion, chopped
4 carrots, chopped
1/2 cup peas (frozen are fine, add at end)
2 cloves garlic, chopped 
4 Tbsp. butter
appx 3 cups dark beer (I used Guinness)
appx 3 cups prepared beef stock/bouillon (I like Better Than Bouillon paste)
2 bay leaves
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp ground cloves
3/4-1 tsp ground nutmeg
Salt and black pepper to taste (lots of pepper - its supposed to be peppery)

You can brown the beef with the butter, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion first, but you don't have to.  Throw everything but the peas in the crock pot, and set on high for 4 hours.  Switch it to low after the 4 hours (rather than letting it switch to warm), and keep it at low until you're ready to serve.  At least 5 hours total is a good measure.  Add the peas 30 min before dinnertime.  Check spices and adjust if necessary at that time.  Just beore serving, if you like a thinker stew, mix 1 Tbsp cornstarch with a little cold water, then stir it into the stew.  Enjoy![/quote]
