Note
Substitutions: If you do not have a beef bouillon cube, you can use a bouillon packet or 1 cup of beef broth instead of water and cube. You may also substitute green beans or peas for the mixed vegetables if preferred.
Seasoning: Feel free to add other herbs and spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, or a dash of Mrs. Dash for extra flavor.
Portion Control: If you prefer fewer vegetables or potatoes, you can reduce the quantity of either by 1 cup without affecting the cooking time significantly.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water to prevent drying out.
