Shared with me by a good friend, this is a lifesaver on busy days. I just pop it in the oven and finish up my to-do list!
1-1/2 lbs. stew beef, cubed
5 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 c. celery, chopped
2 onions, sliced
1 potato, peeled and chopped
28-oz. can stewed tomatoes
1/2 c. fresh bread crumbs
2 t. salt
3 T. instant tapioca, uncooked
Place beef, carrots, celery, onions and potato in a bowl. Combine remaining ingredients and add to beef mixture; blend well. Place into a greased 2-1/2 quart casserole dish. Cover and bake at 250 degrees for 5 hours. Makes 6 servings.
Bits of vintage jewelry and faux flowers really dress up a plain napkin. Slide pint-size trinkets over metallic silver or gold thread, then tie on.
