2 lbs. cubed beef stew meat
1 lg. onion, cut up
1 c. celery, sliced
2-3 carrots, sliced
3 c. potatoes, cut in lg. chunks
2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. tapioca
1 lg. (28 oz.) can tomatoes

Combine all ingredients in a roasting pan and stir well. Cover and bake 3-4 hours in 325-350 degree oven. Stir gently halfway through baking time.

Note: I prefer to brown the meat before adding to other ingredients, but this is not necessary.
