Four Hour Oven Stew
rec.food.recipes/Moe Martin/1999

This recipe was passed on to me by my sister-in-law about 6 years ago.

2 lbs. stewing beef
2 Tbsp minute tapioca
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup carrots, chopped
1 cup peas
1 Tbsp salt
2 cups potatoes, diced
1 tsp. Accent (optional)
1 large onion, chopped
1 10 oz. can French Onion soup
15 oz. V8, Tomato, or Clamato juice
1 (19 oz.) can tomatoes, chopped

There is no need to brown the meat first. Simply combine all ingredients in a large casserole or roaster. Bake at 300 F. for 4 hours. Adjust the amounts of the ingredients to make this stew your very own creation.
