Curry Beef & Butternut Squash

Curry Beef & Butternut Squash

It’s that time of week where it seems as though there isn’t enough time in the day to check off all of the ‘to-do’s’ on my list. But one thing is for certain: when the clock strikes 6, I will have a herd of people asking for dinner.

In anticipation of that very moment, I planned ahead and threw a few flavorful ingredients into the slow-cooker…and all my worries faded away.

Don’t forget the all important slow cooker liner, it will save you from scrubbing at the end of the day!

For this recipe, I used a lean cut of tender grass-fed chuck roast. It held up very well to the 10 hours of cooking while I was away.

Add few tablespoons of your favorite curry, S & P, some everyday seasoning, onion, garlic, butternut squash and some bay leaves – and put on the lid. When the cooking is complete, add some yogurt, coconut milk and some lime zest.

 Prepare a box of rice noodles ((it takes 3-5 minutes!)).
