By HeatherS

It doesn't get any easier or tastier than this easy beef stew with potatoes, onions, carrots and mushrooms.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds stewing beef, cut into cubes
• 4 medium potatoes, cut into chunks
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 large carrots, peeled & chopped
• 1 (10-ounce) can tomato soup
• 1 (10-ounce) can cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup
• 8 bay leaves, whole
• 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
• 1 1/2 cups frozen peas

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.
