Beef Stew

Use your oven on cool or cold days to make dinner and bake dessert at the same time. Your kitchen will feel cozy and the aromas will waft throughout your house. As your family members enter the house you will hear, "Something sure smells good in here," or something similar. This stew is very tasty with the flavors of V-8 juice and dry onion soup mix giving it a slightly different twist. The Oven Beef Stew bakes at 350 degrees for 3 hours. While it is baking, mix up the Easy Pineapple Cake and let it bake beside the stew.

OVEN BEEF STEW

Beef Stew

This is an old recipe from my childhood in Southern Indiana.

1 lb. cubed stew beef
1 large onion, sliced
1 cup sliced potatoes
1 cup sliced carrots
1 cup sliced celery
1 can sliced mushrooms, drained
2 large cans V-8 juice
1 pkg dry onion soup mix
1 tbsp instant tapioca
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place beef in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Layer the vegetables over the beef. In a mixing bowl, mix together the juice, soup mix, tapioca, sugar, salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the vegetables. Cover the roasting pan and bake at 350 degrees for about 3 hours.

MS SOWDERS' EASY PINEAPPLE CAKE
