Waldorf Astoria Stew (aka No Peek Stew)

2 – 3 lbs. stew meat in bottom of large pan

2 medium onions, sliced or chopped

3 – 4 potatoes

1 c. celery, coarsely sliced

3 – 4 large carrots (bite size pieces)

Layer in pan.  Then sprinkle with:

2 T. Minute Tapioca

1 T. sugar

2 t. salt

¼ t. pepper (more or less if desired)

1 can tomato soup, drop by spoonfuls

½ can water, pour over stew

      Do not stir.  Cover tightly and cook in oven 5 hours at 250°.  (Don’t even peek – that’s cheating).  Do not remove cover until ready to serve.  (This can also be done in a crock pot.)
