No-peek Baked Stew

I got this recipe from a family friend and have finally made it. It was very good, but I DID do a couple of different things! *** (see cooking instructions)

• Ready In: 5 hrs 20 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 2  lbs  stew meat
• 5  potatoes, quartered,or smaller
• 8  carrots, cut into big pieces
• 1⁄2 stalk celery
• 1  onion
• 1  green pepper
• 3  tablespoons tapioca
• 1  tablespoon sugar
• 1 (2 lb) can tomatoes
• 1  piece  white bread, crumbled
•  salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Mix well.
2. Place in covered baking dish.
3. Bake at 250* for 5 hours.
4. DO NOT PEEK.
5. **thatis NOT a typo- two hundred fifty degrees**.
6. *** After making this recipe, I need to update what I did. I used about 6 carrots, instead of 8 , I used 4 stalks of celery instead of 1/2 ! And I just could NOT leave out stew seasoning, so I added a packet of that as well.
