Ingredients
- 2 pounds stewing beef, well trimmed
- 1 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into medium chunks
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 can tomato soup, undiluted
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted (or cream of anything you want really. I have tried many cream soups and they work quite well)
- 8 bay leaves
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- 11/2 cups frozen peas (optional)
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 250°.
-
Add the raw beef and and all of the vegetables (except the mushrooms and peas) to a large stew pot. Add the undiluted soups and mix everything together well. Place the bay leaves on top of the mixture. The mixture will look quite dry at this point.
-
Bake the stew with lid on for 5 hours. If you are using mushrooms and peas, add them at the beginning of the last hour.
