Totally tasty and a cinch to make: Toss in some cubed beef, no need to brown it Peel some potatoes and add them Quarter an onion or two and add them Whole baby carrots, or large carrots in 3" chunks One can tomato soup (I use Campbell's) a generous sprinkle of pepper 1-2 bay leaves enough water to thin the soup so that all the ingredients are more or less submerged This can be left to cook for several hours. You can also mix it in a casserole dish and cook it for 1-2 hours in a 375 oven, but the meat won't be very tender. When you are cutting up the potatoes and carrots, consider how long you will be cooking it. I mean, if I am throwing this into my crock-pot at 8am before leaving for work, and I know I won't be home until 6-7pm, I cut the vegetables *large* so they don't overcook. This stew smells wonderful. Nice to walk in the house on a cold, wet evening and get the great aroma! Lindsay Gower UniSoft Corp lins@unisoft.com
