Preparation

Step 1

In a large roasting pan or stewing pot; add beef, potatoes, onions and carrots. Add undiluted soups and mix together well. Place bay leaves on top of the mixture.

Note: The mixture will look quite dry at this point.

Cover and bake in preheated 250°F (120°C) oven for four hours. Add mushrooms and peas, stirring to blend ingredients. Bake for an additional hour. Remove bay leaves.
