Just delightful! Made this in a Paula Deen dutch oven in the oven. Simple to make and so tasty! Thanks for the great recipe!

Thank you so much for posting this! I remember eating this growing up, and asked my mom the other day for the recipe. Alas, she had lost it. SO I looked on Recipezaar, and here it was! We give this recipe 5 stars for ease, and a 4 for taste. This is literally so easy -- and no browning of the meat! The meat is so tender it falls apart. We always use tomato soup, plus one extra can and 1/2 cup water, as well as the peas.
