Welcome 2007!

Just want to wish everyone a healthy, happy new year.
May each and every day be special.
May many good blessings come your way.
Since Winter is here, (even though it's a warm one) we are all searching for a good stick-to-the-ribs meal that's easy to make and tasty to eat. I have used this recipe many times. Because of how simple it is to put together, it's one that I used to make on Sunday mornings before heading off to church. By the time we got home, the house smelled delicious and dinner was ready to eat.

Oven Stew

1 1/2-2 lbs. Beef (Cubed)
2 Cups Carrots (sliced)
2 Cups Red Potatoes (Quartered)
2 Medium Onions (Diced)
1 Cup Celery (Chopped)
1 20 oz. Bag Frozen Mixed Veggies or 2 10oz. boxes
2 Tsp. Tapioca
1 Tbs. Salt
1/2 tsp. Pepper
1 Can (8 oz.) Hunts Tomato Sauce
1 Cup Water
1 Tbs. Brown Sugar

In a large casserole dish:
Layer the meat and veggies
Sprinkle tapioca, salt and pepper
Mix water with tomato sauce
Pour liquids over all.
Crumble brown sugar over all.
Cover tightly with foil
Slow Cook in oven at 325 degrees for 3 hours.

Time may vary according to oven (may be 2 1/2 hours) but don't peek! You can tell by the smell :)
