SCRUMPTIOUS BEEF AND POTATO CASSEROLE
This is one of my husband's favorite recipes for a weekend supper. It's great the next day, but don't microwave it to reheat, as the topping will be soggy.

STEW BEEF CASSEROLE
My grandmother makes this and its sooooo good! My very picky children love this as well. The meat is so tender it melts in your mouth. By cooking it slowly it makes the most wonderful gravy. I serve this over rice and it is absolutely mouth watering! The stew beef can be thawed or partially frozen. Beware, the aroma in your house is going to bring neighbors in from miles around :)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
- Mix the cream of mushroom soup, Lipton onion soup, and the water.
- Add the stew beef to the soup mixture.
- Place in a casserole dish, medium size. Not to big because the gravy will evaporate. The perfect size would be one that the ingredients will almost fit to the top.
- Place a lid on the casserole dish.
- Slow roast in the oven for about 3 hours. The casserole is done when the meat is tender enough to break apart with a fork.

Steps:
- Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan or deep casserole, and fry the onions and carrots until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the softened and oil-glossed vegetables to a bowl, and add the remaining oil to the pan. Put the flour into a large freezer bag along with salt and pepper, sage, and allspice; add the beef pieces to the bag, tossing in the flour, before searing the meat in the pan. Do this in batches, browning the meat a little and removing all of the beef to a large dish as you go.
- When all the meat is browned and out of the pan, whisk or stir in the orange juice and stout and let it come to the boil. Add the water and then return the meat and vegetables to the pan. Stir in the orange zest and bay leaves, bring to the boil and then turn the stew down to a soft simmer. Cover and cook for 2 1/2 hours. This is best reheated 1 or 2 days after, but if you are serving the stew on the same day, then add another half hour to the cooking time just to make sure the meat is soft, mellow and tender.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality beef stew meat. Look for meat that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat, as this will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Sear the beef before braising it. This will help to develop a rich, caramelized flavor and create a delicious sauce.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor, color, and texture to the dish. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
- Use a good quality red wine for the braising liquid. A full-bodied red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will add depth and complexity to the flavor of the stew.
- Season the stew well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
- Cook the stew low and slow. This will allow the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender.
- Serve the stew with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
