GONE-ALL-DAY STEW



Gone-All-Day Stew image

I found this recipe in the March/April 1991 issue of Reminisce magazine and it was by Patricia Kyle. I've tried many stews, but this is the one I always come back to. It is delicious and a family favorite. Easily doubles and triples and can be put together the night before and popped in the oven the next day. Use more or less...

Categories     Beef Soups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 can(s) tomato soup, undiluted
1 c water or wine (i use water)
1/4 c all purpose flour
2 lb beef chuck roast, cut in 1-inch cubes
3 medium carrots, peeled, cut into 1-inch chunks
6 small white boiling onions, whole and peeled
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
2 stalk(s) celery, cut into 1-inch chunks
12 large button mushrooms, fresh and leave whole
2 beef bouillon, cubes
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
  • 2. Mix all ingredients (except tomato soup, water, flour, and beef bouillon cubes) in a roaster sprayed with Pam. (I just use my hands to mix all the ingredients together after they are in the roaster).
  • 3. Place one bouillon cube on top and at each end of the above mixture.
  • 4. Mix tomato soup, water, and flour together. Pour over top of above ingredients. Do NOT stir.
  • 5. Place lid on roaster and place in preheated oven.
  • 6. The directions said to bake for 4-5 hours, but start checking at 3 hours as mine always gets done sooner. If the meat is tender then the stew is done.
  • 7. Pat's Notes: Can use sliced baby portabella mushrooms in place of button mushrooms. Use as many as you want. I'll also use baby carrots instead of the larger carrots...put in as many as you want.

CHEF JOHN'S AMERICAN GOULASH



Chef John's American Goulash image

One of my all-time favorite comfort food meals growing up was the beef goulash they served in my school cafeteria alongside a slice of buttered white bread and a carton of milk. Little did I know that it wasn't really goulash, but an Americanized version, invented to stretch a small amount of beef into enough food for a not-so-small family. This is one of those very simple dishes that does not taste simple--perfect for your weeknight dinner rotation.
