Friendly Oven Stew image

I call this a friendly oven stew for two reasons - a friend where I used to work gave me the recipe, and it's cook friendly - you can add whatever and how much of any vegetable you want to the basic mix. Keep in mind if you add a large amount of extra veggies, you may need to increase the amount of tomato juice & tapioca. (I suggest 1/2 cup juice and 1/2 tablespoon tapioca per 1 cup veggies). I have also used V-8 successfully for a spicier taste. Remember - NO PEEKING!

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs stewing beef, cubed
1 cup celery, coarsely chopped
1 cup onion, coarsely chopped
1 cup potato, coarsely chopped
1 cup carrot, coarsely chopped
2 cups tomato juice
2 tablespoons minute tapioca
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325*. Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray (for ease of cleaning up). Put the meat in the bottom of the casserole.
  • Add the chopped vegetables. Now is the time to add any & how much of any vegetable you want (I like rutabaga - but no more than 1 cup as it's a stronger-flavoured veg).
  • Sprinkle with tapioca, salt and pepper.
  • Pour in tomato juice & cover tightly with foil before placing casserole lid on.
  • Bake @ 325* for at least 3 1/2 hours (I've gone to 4 hours successfully).
  • Remember not to peek during cooking time (until the end of course!).
