In my experience, most men want beef. Beef burgers, big steaks, beef, beef, beef. Now I’m sure there are a lot of men out there that wouldn’t touch the stuff, but those men don’t live with me.
Wanting to please the man in the family, I bought some stew meat and mushrooms and set out to make a hearty, beef in the recipe, soup.
Tender pieces of beef and mushrooms really satisfied those beef cravings. I was even able to sneak the kale in without comment from the hubby
