Temperatures are gradually dropping, clocks have gone back an hour behind, days are getting shorter, early darkness is becoming the order of the day and here I am, easily feeling hungry for anything chili and warm.... No doubt this period of the season is just nature's way of prompting us to stick closer to everything super hotty, hearty, warm and chili just to keep our bodies warm and comfy.
So let us just get started right away...... Since the temperatures are seriously dropping, my new routine each morning is to check out the day’s temperature on my phone. Gauging the actual temperature helps me quite a lot to come to terms on an ideal dish to prepare for the day.
I can tell you for sure that I usually crave for something simple, warm, peppery, hearty and yet flavorful on any of such cold days especially for dinner.
While I was busy pondering on a perfect dish for tonight’s dinner, I decided to settle for deliciously made beef casserole. When I was growing up, my Mom usually makes delicious beef casserole that always captivated me and prompted me into dearly loving this dish. Ever since then, I've never looked back or refrained from loving this dish. It is just a no brainer and a perfect dish for every family.
Chunks of beef cooked together with fresh chili pepper, onions, beef stock cubes, salt, mushrooms, piper guineense, dry utazi leaves, dry chives leaves, vegetable oil and dry parsley leaves to form an appetizing beef casserole in a really flavorful beef broth. This beef casserole is just a perfect soup to satisfy my ceaseless cravings for something delicious, chili and warm and I can assure you that it is really just spot on. Not only was it hotty and pepperish, but it was fabulously easy to prepare and amazingly delicious to enjoy even with minimal ingredients.
Beef casserole is pretty easy to prepare in the sense that all you need to do is just chunk-up the beef into small portions, pop them into a cooking pot, add the required ingredients and everything cooks up yummiliciously in one pot. Although beef casserole can be served with other dishes such as boiled potatoes, boiled yam or even assorted vegetables, but I love having the beef casserole alone!

Even though this is not the first time I’ve prepared beef casserole but each time I do, it seems as if I am falling over in love with it for the first time :D
