5 - Hour Beef Stew

Here's another old, old recipe that goes together very easily. It is done at low temp-erature in the oven but could probably be adapted to the slow cooker. Into a 3 qt. dutch oven place 2 lb beef stew meet, 6 carrots peeled and chunked, 3 potatoes peeled and cubed, 3 onions chunked, 14 oz. can of diced tomatoes, 1/4C tapioca, 2T salt, 1/4C dry red wine, 1 bay leaf. Bake at 275 F for 5 hours, stirring occationally. The tapioca thickens this tastey dish. Serve with a salad and the dry red wine used in cooking.
