Oven Baked Chunky Stew.

1 pkg of Dry Onion Soup Mix

1/2 tsp. Salt

1/2 tsp. Paprika

1 pound of lean chunky Beef Stew Meat

1 can Cream of Celery Soup

1/2 cup Ketchup

2 medium sized potatoes, cut into chunks

3 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks

1/2 of an onion, diced

In a large bag, combine the seasonings and stew meat and shake until all the meat is well seasoned. Place into a lighlty greased casserole dish and top with the sliced potato, carrots, and onion. Next mix together the ketchup and soup and pour over the top of the stew.

Cover the casserole dish with a lid if it comes with one (if not, then just cover with foil) and bake @ *325 for 2 hours. Serve with warm bread or a roll for dipping!

* I partially cooked the meat so it will not need 2 full hours of baking. Blanch veggies first if freezing. Try cooking in the crock pot if it is a HOT day!
