Need a short cut for dinner tonight? This is one of our favorite go to weeknight dinners. Its easy quick comfort food perfect for October! We have eliminated a few steps from the traditional casserole which makes it easy to get on the table with less time and mess. Many of our Dinner Daily subscribers have told us this has become a weeknight staple in their house too. The best part? Clean plates all around from the kids!

1/2 cup beef or chicken broth
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp flour
10 oz frozen peas, carrots, & corn (can also use chopped fresh veggies but we like the convenience of frozen, and its just as healthy!)
