"ALMOST" HOMEMADE BEEF BROTH

1/4 to 1/2 tsp “Better Than Bouillon” beef base
1 cup water, boiling

Add 1/4 teaspoon of beef base to the hot water and whisk to dissolve. If you want it more flavorful, add another 1/2 of teaspoon. It is now ready to use in the recipe.

At times I don't need to extra beef flavor, but for some recipes I do make it stronger.

It tastes so much better than using regular bouillon cubes. By the way, you will find it by the bouillon cubes in the grocery store.

CONDENSED BEEF BROTH

Condensed is a stronger broth. So you would double the amount of beef base that you put in.

1 cup boiling water
1/2 to 1 teaspoon of beef base

When you are having ribs, or have bones from a roast you save them in a resealable bag in the freezer. Just keep adding to it and make one big batch of broth and freeze it into portions.
