Stew Beef Casserole

My grandmother makes this and its sooooo good! My very picky children love this as well. The meat is so tender it melts in your mouth. By cooking it slowly it makes the most wonderful gravy. I serve this over rice and it is absolutely mouth watering! The stew beef can be thawed or partially frozen. Beware, the aroma in your house is going to bring neighbors in from miles around :)

• Ready In: 3 hrs 5 mins
• Serves: 6
• Yields: 1 casserole

Ingredients

• 1  lb stewing beef
• 10 1⁄2 ounces  cream of mushroom soup (1 can)
• 1 1⁄4 ounces  Lipton Onion Soup Mix (1 packet)
• 1⁄4 cup water

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
2. Mix the cream of mushroom soup, Lipton onion soup, and the water.
3. Add the stew beef to the soup mixture.
4. Place in a casserole dish, medium size. Not to big because the gravy will evaporate. The perfect size would be one that the ingredients will almost fit to the top.
5. Place a lid on the casserole dish.
6. Slow roast in the oven for about 3 hours. The casserole is done when the meat is tender enough to break apart with a fork.
