Stew


This is one of my husband's favorites that he requests a lot.

2 lbs. stew meat
2 cans cream of celery
1 can cream of mushroom
1 envelope Lipton onion soup
3 soup cans water
Kitchen Bouquet (for color) - to taste

Combine ingredients, and chopped onion, potatoes, carrots, and celery to taste - as much or as little of each as you like.

I bring it to a boil on the stove top and reduce to low heat so it simmers for 3-4 hours. Stir often and scrape the bottom as it may burn.

You can add frozen petite peas just before serving. Also cooks in the oven for 3-4 hours at 325 degrees.

Hint: Kitchen Bouquet comes in a dark colored bottle with a yellow label and yellow lid. It is on the same section of the grocery store as ketchup, barbeque sauce, etc.

Edit: I recently made this in the crockpot for the first time, and it just didn't work. I will be sticking to the stovetop or oven in the future.
