Effortless Five Hour Stew

Okay maybe a little effort, but so delicious! Another recipe from my Grandmother that is fantastic! The kids devoured it last night, so I may have to increase it next time. The only change I would make to this recipe is to add another can of tomato sauce and maybe a little more water to have it be a little more saucey.
