Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef stew meat
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Golden mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of celery soup
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 packet Onion soup mix
- 4 Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 medium Potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the golden mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, beef broth, and onion soup mix. Stir well until fully blended.
Add the beef stew meat to the bowl and toss to coat it evenly with the soup mixture.
In a large oven-safe casserole dish or Dutch oven, layer the carrots, potatoes, and diced onion.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder over the vegetables.
Pour the beef and soup mixture over the vegetables, ensuring everything is evenly covered.
Cover the dish tightly with a lid or aluminum foil. Ensure it is sealed well to trap the steam.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and cook for 4 hours. Resist the urge to peek or remove the lid during cooking, as the sealed environment is crucial to the recipe's success.
After 4 hours, carefully remove the dish from the oven and give everything a gentle stir to combine the flavors.
Serve hot and enjoy your No Peek Beef Stew with crusty bread or over rice, if desired.
