"This is such an easy way to make a wonderful beef stew," beams Doris Sleeth of Naples, Florida. "You don't need to brown the meat first—just combine it with hearty chunks of carrots, potatoes and celery...and let it all cook together in a flavorful gravy. My daughter Karen came up with the recipe for her busy family."

Wonderful! Very filling, easy to put together. A great meal all by itself.

This is an easy way to make stew--I don't even bother to peel the potatoes and they come out just fine. The meat is tender, the veggies all cooked just right. My husband and I both love it. I do cut down on the salt a bit and it still tastes great.

I found this recipe years ago (about 14 years ago) and loved it! My Mom who hated beef stew loved this recipe. It's not a newly created dish but it is a family favorite here!

This recipe is awesome for busy parents. Quick, easy, and delicious! Love the big chunks, but if you don't want it that way, it is very easy to cut everything smaller after it bakes. We plan to make this often in our house!

Thank you for this recipe. It was very good. Because I had 16 oz. of mixed vegetables, I used them instead of the carrots and I diced the meat and potatoes, so everything would cook uniformly. Unfortunately, I forgot the onion, but this was still very good. Thank you again. I hope to see more recipes from you!

*Just out of curiosity, what purpose is the bread? I can understand the minute tapioca, just not the bread.

Delicious. I perfect blend of flavors. The meat is always tender when I make this recipe.

This was quick and easy. I half-cooked the meat on the stove top, but then added all the cooking juices and meat to the stew. Very good and made the house smell wonderful!
