Oven Baked Stew

By dorchuk

Ingredients

• 1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 1/2 lbs lean beef stew meat cut into bite sized pieces.
• 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
• 6 boiling onions or regular onions cut into 2 inch chunks
• 6 carrots cut into 1-inch pieces (or baby carrots can be used)
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can cream of celery soup
• 1/2 cup ketchup

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
In a large Ziploc bag combine onion soup mix, salt, paprika, and stew meat. Shake until well coated. Place seasoned meat in a covered baking dish.
Arrange potatoes, onions, and carrots on top of meat.
In a small bowl combine cream of celery and ketchup. Pour mixture over meat and vegetables (I know it sounds weird but it is good).
Cover and bake for 2 hours @ 325 degrees. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Slow Cooker Instructions: Prepare as directed above but cook in slow cooker on low for 4-6 hours or until potatoes are fork tender.
