Gluten And Corn-Free Crock Pot Chop Suey: Just Set And Forget It - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs of chunky stewing beef (I like to combine pork and beef)
1/2 large yellow onion, chopped
2 medium celery ribs, sliced on a slight angle
4 ounces of fresh mung bean sprouts (you may substitute for canned, but if you are highly sensitive to corn be wary of the citric acid)
1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms
1 (8 ounce) can bamboo shoots (preservative free, only in water)
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts (preservative free, only in water)
2 cups dry rice
2 tablespoons arrowroot
1 (5 1/4 ounce) jar of bead unsulphured molasses (Dynasty brand or any other variety of unsulphured molasses)
san-j organic gluten-free soy sauce

Preparation

Place meat into bottom of the crock pot. Add jar of molasses, then fill empty molasses jar with San-J and pour into crock pot. (For a lower-sodium dish add less molasses and less soy sauce in equal parts.) Next add two pints of water, then all remaining ingredients.
Please note: when adding arrowroot starch it is best to add it to cold water to avoid clumping. Be sure to stir the powder until it dissolves into a smooth creamy liquid. Uncover and unplug the crockpot when the dish is ready to be served, then in a separate saucepan prepare rice as directed. Serves 6-8 adult-sized portions.
