Beef Stew

1 package beef
4 large potatoes
4 carrots
1 onion, cooking
2 bay leaves
2 bay leaves
1 can peas, optional

Brown the beef with the onions in a large pot. Once the meat is brown add
3 cups of water and bay leaves. Heat over medium heat while you peel the
potatoes and carrots. Add potatoes and carrots to the stew pot. Cover
with water. Bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are tender. Mix up a
flour and water mixture to thicken the stew. Add it right to the pot. No
need to remove the meat/veggies. Stir well to make sure you don't get
lumps. Add pepper/salt/whatever you like for spices. I sometimes add
garlic when browning the meat. Oregano is a nice touch as well. Once the
stew is thickened you can serve it. Sometimes I make dumplings with the
stew. I usually buy a box of Bisquick as it has a recipe on it.
Unfortunately I cannot relay the recipe to you as I don't have any in the
house at the moment. You would have to talk to my grandmother if you
wanted to make them from scratch. Isn't that the way it always is.

Beef Stew

carrots
onions
celery
beef, or chicken
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can tomato soup
1 can water

Cut into bite size pieces any vegetables you like, mainly, potatoes.
carrots,
onions, celery, etc. Purchase the least expensive piece of beef or chicken
if you prefer and cut it into bite size pieces, removing most of the fat
and marbling. Put it all mixed up into a crock pot with 1 can of Golden
Cream of Mushroom Soup and 1 can of plain tomato soup, and about 1/2 to 1
can of cold water. Cook 5-8 hours. on slow or med., and you may not want
to use any seasonings until after the first time. Other than a little
pepper, that is all I have ever needed to add.

Beef Stew

2 pounds beef, cubed
3 Carrots, in large chunks
4 Potatoes, cut into eights
1 large Onion, chopped
2 packages Brown Gravy
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Water
Flour
Oil

Coat meat lightly with flour and brown in oil (or you can stick the coated
meat on a broiler pan and brown it in the oven (saves time and has the
added option of not being fried in oil). Put meat in stew pan (I used a
large turkey roasting covered pan), add carrot chunks, potato chunks and
onion. Add enough water to cover everything and put in the oven @ 350 for
2.5 hours. After the stew has been in the oven for approx. 1.5 hours add
the packaged dry gravy (no need to mix it with water, there should be
enough water in the stew pan). Mix it in well and continue stewing! This
is great served with dinner rolls and a green salad.
