3 lb. stew meat, chuck roast is fine
4 to 5 potatoes
4 to 5 carrots
1 can green beans with juice
1 can bamboo shoots, drained
1 lg. can tomatoes, stewed or whole/cut-up
4 to 5 onions
5 stalks celery
1/2 c. tapioca
3 tsp. salt

Just mix all ingredients together raw. Place in roaster and bake in a 275 degree oven for 6 hours. The stew browns itself and very seldom have I had to add any additional liquid. Serves 6 to 8.
