Bitter Taste: Beef Stew

OK, made another beef stew in the crock pot and again, it has a bitter flavor. No tomatoes, only 2 T canned tomato paste and 1 C cabernet. Thinking maybe a lighter wine to fix this and/or eliminate the tomato paste? Add brown sugar?

Beef stew disaster

I made some beef stew in my crock pot. I forgot to plug it in. It's been sitting for going on 5 hours. Is it dog food now or would the broth have saved it so I can still cook and eat it? Edit: I threw it out. Didn't want to chance it.

Will 93% lean ground beef stick in a non-stick skillet without oil?

I often cook 85% lean ground beef in a non-stick pan. When I first started doing this, I always added some oil to the pan before I cooked it, but then I learned that the beef had enough fat on its own, so I started cooking it without adding any…
