3 lb. cubed stew meat
8 med. onions, quartered
8 carrots, sliced
6 stalks celery, sliced
1 (29 oz.) can tomatoes
2 (4 oz.) cans tomato sauce
1 pkg. dry onion soup mix
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 tbsp. basil
8 tbsp. minute tapioca

Combine all ingredients in roaster. Cover and bake at 275 degrees for 5 to 6 hours. Stir once or twice.

Vi says that stewed tomatoes are good, too, and also a few potatoes, rutabagas and carrots. Meat is put in raw.
