7 Up Stew Recipes

7-UP STEW

Steps:

• 1. Brown the cut up beef stew meat in a skillet with a little olive oil. Do this in batches, putting the browned meat into a large roast pan. Wash and chop the celery and sprinkle around the roast pan with the meat. Wash and peel carrots and cut to desired size. Put in roast pan on top of browned beef and celery. I do not peel my potatoes, and I use red and yellow together if on hand. Clean the potatoes cut to desired size and put in roast pan on top of carrots. Peel onions and cut into quarters or your desired size.
• 2. Sprinkle spices over the ingredients in the pan.
• 3. Pour 1/2 of a bottle of 7-UP over the spices in the pan. Add enough water to cover the ingredients in the roast pan. Put lid on Roast Pan, place in 450 degree oven for 30 minutes. Turn down the oven to 350 degrees and continue cooking for 90 minutes. (Do not lift the cover!).
• 4. Remove roast pan from oven and place on top of stove. Remove at least half of the meat and veggies from the roast pan. Turn the heat to medium high on the stove burner. Let the liquid come to a full boil. Put the 4 gravy mixes and cornstarch into a small bowl, add 1/2 cup of water. Stir together well (don't want lumps). Slowly pour every bit of this into the boiling liquid in roast pan. Stir constantly until gravy is done. Turn heat off. Add the veggies you removed back into the pan. If at any point you think you need to add more liquid to the gravy go ahead and do it.
• 5. *** Half of my family likes peas and the other half doesn't.... so I put some of the stew in a separate pan (for those who don't like peas). At this point I add 2- 3 cans of peas or 1-2 bags of Frozen peas... (BECAUSE I LIKE PEAS!!!).

SLOW COOKER 7-UP STEW

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in the crock pot and mix well. Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or until the meat is tender. Just before serving, stir in some sour cream if desired.

OLD-FASHIONED BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Combine the flour and pepper in a bowl, add the beef and toss to coat well. Heat 3 teaspoons of the oil in a large pot. Add the beef a few pieces at a time; do not overcrowd. Cook, turning the pieces until beef is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch; add more oil as needed between batches.
• Remove the beef from the pot and add the vinegar and wine. Cook over medium-high heat, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Add the beef, beef broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a slow simmer.
• Cover and cook, skimming broth from time to time, until the beef is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add the onions and carrots and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Add the potatoes and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes more. Add broth or water if the stew is dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle among 4 bowls and serve.

7 UP® CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Generously grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
• Beat white sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy and smooth; add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir flour, 1 cup at a time, blending well after each addition until batter is smooth; stir in lemon extract. Mix lemon-lime beverage into batter and pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan immediately.
