mennonite old-fashion beef pot pie

May 2nd, 2008

You possibly will not accept that you could lose weight while on a diet which includes mennonite old-fashion beef pot pie but it is achievable. It is pivotal to not eat mennonite old-fashion beef pot pie or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself high calorie food once per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1500 to 1600 calories each day, and then one day, I eat anything - within reason of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 2 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise routine or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have simply been careful of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

On my one day off per week, I usually like to eat mennonite food. I never imagined I could lose 5 kilos while eating mennonite meals but am very elated to see it can work. If you want to try some mennonite food, I propose you make mennonite old-fashion beef pot pie which is one of my most admired mennonite recipes.

Mennonite Old-Fashion Beef Pot Pie

2 pounds stewing beef
6 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
6 medium size potatoes
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk or water
1 teaspoon minced onion
1 teaspoon minced parsley

Cook meat in salt water until it is tender. Remove meat from broth; add minced onion and parsley to broth. Bring to the boiling point and add alternate layers of cubed potatoes and squares of dough.

To make dough, beat egg and add milk. Add flour to make a stiff dough. Roll out paper thin and cut into 1-inch squares. Keep broth boiling while adding dough squares in order to keep them from packing together. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, adding more water if needed. Add meat and stir through pot pie.

Serves 6 to 8.

You can adjust the recipe to make it a little healthier or with fewer calories as this can aid you to lose 5 kilos rapidly. It worked for me and could aid you to lose weight too.
