Laun/Pruett Recipe Collection
Christmas Stew at the Pruett's

2-3 pounds stewing beef
1 large tomato, squished!
3-4 potatoes quartered, or use small red potatoes
5-6 large carrots, cut in inch chunks
1/2 whole celery, inch chunks
4 onions, quartered
3 t. tapioca (hmmm...next 3 could be Tablespoons)
1 t. salt
1 t pepper

Triple for 20 people.
Mix well with hands. Place in a heavy pan and cover. Bake 5 hours at 250 degrees.

Note: Sounds like a good candidate for the crockpot!

I found the old stew recipe that I made in college and then brought home to share with the family. We would triple the recipe for 20 people.
