Contest Winning Gone All Day Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Place flour in a large shallow dish. Add beef, a few pieces at a time, and turn to coat. , In a large skillet, brown meat in oil in batches; drain. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Combine the tomato soup, water or wine, bouillon and seasonings; pour over beef. Add the onions, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms and celery. , Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until meat is tender. Discard bay leaf. Serve with noodles or French bread.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
• 2. Mix all ingredients (except tomato soup, water, flour, and beef bouillon cubes) in a roaster sprayed with Pam. (I just use my hands to mix all the ingredients together after they are in the roaster).
• 3. Place one bouillon cube on top and at each end of the above mixture.
• 4. Mix tomato soup, water, and flour together. Pour over top of above ingredients. Do NOT stir.
• 5. Place lid on roaster and place in preheated oven.
• 6. The directions said to bake for 4-5 hours, but start checking at 3 hours as mine always gets done sooner. If the meat is tender then the stew is done.
• 7. Pat's Notes: Can use sliced baby portabella mushrooms in place of button mushrooms. Use as many as you want. I'll also use baby carrots instead of the larger carrots...put in as many as you want.
