Five Hour Oven Stew

prep time:: 30 minutes

total time:: 5 hours, 30 minutes

Makes 4 servings

A hearty beef stew which makes the entire house smell wonderful!

ingredients

Stew beef-cut into chunks, approx. 1-1 1/2 lb
Carrots, chopped
Celery, chopped
onions, chopped
2-3 cans diced tomatoes
3 Tbsp. tapioca pudding
1 Tbsp. sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Potato chunks

directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Add all the ingredients to a large stew pot except the potatoes, mix and cook for three hours. Add the potato chunks and cook for an additional 2 hours. Occasionally, I like to add half a glass red wine, thyme and pearl onions for a slightly different flavor. Also translates well for the crockpot~
