magically easy stew









 

Seriously the best, easiest stew EVER.

magically easy stew (my friend Annie)
1 pound beef stew meat, cubed
1 onion, coarsely chopped
1 stalk celery, sliced
1/2 to 1 green pepper, coarsely chopped
3 carrots, peeled and cut into 2" pieces (I throw in baby carrots)
2 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 cup tomato sauce or tomato juice or V8 (I prefer to use the tomato sauce)
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Place beef in a large heavy casserole dish or pot with a tight fitting lid (don't brown the meat first!). Add all chopped veggies. Combine seasoning and tomato juice. Pour this mixture over the vegetables and meat. Do not stir. Cover tightly and cook 3 hours at 325 degrees or 4 hours at 275 degrees.
