Here is a beef stew recipe that differs from the stew I make, so I will give it a try.

Beef Stew

2 pounds stew beef, do not brown
3 celery stalks cut into pieces
4 or 5 carrots cut into pieces
2 medium onions, sliced
3/4 tsp. salt
2 Tablespoons tapioca
Pepper
1/2 cup tomato juice

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together and put into a covered casserole. Bake in 250 degree oven for 4 hours.

Donna, this might go well in a slow cooker. I will try it in mine, although here in Australia it is supposed to be almost summer which is more salad weather, but we are having some weird weather with rain and cold snaps so it is one to try out on those days.

Hi Donna,

Sounds good, I hope Pat let us know how it is.  Thanks Pat.
