Five Hour Beef Stew

Sorry I haven't added any easy, fast, and nutritious meals lately. I've been busy homeschooling and sewing. I went to my first arts and craft show in Austin this weekend. I made a good amount of $ selling my slings, doll slings, cloth doll diapers, and burp cloths. You can see these items on my etsy shop www.LittleMonkeyPouches.etsy.com.

Now that it's starting to cool off - here in Texas it's finally in the 70s and 80s, a little lower at night - I'm hungry for the cool weather comfort meals. My MIL sent us this recipe for stew that is the easiest and best tasting I've ever had. I put it together after lunch and it's ready by supper. I use the oven, but I'm sure you could put it in the crockpot too. It's enough for about 8 people, more if you add a little more of each ingredient. If you have a great soup recipe, I'd love to try it. We are all about soup in the winter!

Five Hour Beef Stew

1.5 lbs Stew Meat

1 cup cut up Celery

4 Carrots, sliced

3-4 medium Potatoes, cut up

2 Onions, diced

1/2 cup fresh Bread Crumbs

2 Large cans Tomatoes, diced

1 TBS salt

2 TBS sugar

3-4 TBS Instant Tapioca

2-3 generous splashes Worcesterwhire sauce

Sprinkle of Oregano

Do not brown the meat. Mix all ingredients together in baking dish with a tigh fitting lide, or cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 250 F oven for 5-6 hrs. Do not hurry this stew - a slow oven is key to it's success. I serve it with biscuits and butter/jam/honey. Enjoy!
