*cook each group about 2-3 minutes before adding the next group.
*can be done in a regular frying pan but may want to half the recipe because it may not fit (it all depends on the size and depth)

Day 14: Oven Stew

Oven Stew

1 lb. raw Ground Beef

5-6 raw Potatoes (cut in small pieces)

3-4 raw Carrots (sliced)

Optional:

3-4 Celery Stalks (chopped) or 1-2 cups Green Cabbage (chopped)

*I used baby carrots and cut them in half (about 20-25?)

½ Onion (chopped)

1-10 ¾ oz. can Tomato Soup

1 can Water

1 pkg. Onion Soup (original recipe called for Mrs. Dash but I didn’t have any)

Salt

Pepper

Garlic Salt

In a 9x13 dish place cut potatoes in the bottom and top with carrots (and celery and/or cabbage in using). Sprinkle half the package of onion soup and salt and pepper and garlic salt on top. Drop chunks of ground beef on top and sprinkle with onion and the set of seasonings again. Mix the tomato soup and water and pour over. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 1-1 ½ hours (depends on size of potatoes, I cooked my 1 hr 20 min and cut my Kroger brand potatoes in ¼ with thick slices)

*I thought this might turn out more like tin foil dinners but it is more like a stew, it was really good!!!!
