2 lbs. beef stew meat (browning not necessary)
6 carrots, sliced
6 potatoes, sliced
3/4 c. onion, chopped
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 lg. can stewed tomatoes
1 can condensed tomato soup

Mix all ingredients together, spreading the can of condensed tomato soup over top. Add just enough water to bring liquid to within 1 inch of top of mixture. Use large casserole (about 3-quart size), cover with lid and bake at low temperature (about 300 degrees) for 4 hours.

Note: A Pyrex casserole with its heavier lid is preferred, as it "seals in" cooking juices.
