Ingredients
1 large package Carne Picada thin sliced beef (I use any beef in my freezer when I'm broke. I just use kitchen shears to snip the meat into small bite site pieces 1.5-2lbs for a large family without leftovers)
1 large onion
4 Knorr Beef Buoillion (cubes or Tbsp of powder)
1 packet Sazon (found in the Spanish food section)
3 bay leaves
4-6 potatoes, cubed small
1 package carrot chips (or 2 drained cans of sliced carrots, or 2 cups chopped)
2 cans Green Beans, drained
2 sticks salted butter
Greek Seasoning (or any combination of seasonings in your pantry I would use onion powder, garlic powder or mince, parsley, thyme, black pepper)
6-8 cups of water
1 can evaporated milk
1/2 cup flour
Instructions
1. In a large skillet, saute onion and beef with 1 stick butter & Greek Seasoning until nicely seered a dark brown on at least one side. Transfer to a large pot or dutch oven.
2. Add water (about an inch above veggies) Buoillion, Sazon, vegetables, and all other seasoning to the pot stirring well. Bring to a boil.
3. Roux: whisk in flour with evaporated milk making sure we'll blended and pour into pot after potatoes can be smashed with the back of a wooden spoon.
4. Simmer, stirring often, for few minutes until it starts to thicken. Add other stick of butter and stir until melted.
5. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 15-30 minutes to allow it to thicken a cool before serving.
6. Enjoy! I don't recommend adding any salt until you've tasted it as the Buoillion and Sazon are quite salty.
