4 Hour Beef stew

Submitted by Zaney1

"Adopted recipe.The original recipe calls for baking in the oven, but you could also make this in a slow cooker on low if you don't want to tie up your oven for that long. This is a very easy stew to make. There isn't much prep to it, just some rough chopping of the veggies.Make sure you don't lift the foil in the oven b/c the steam helps cook the veggies just right!This would be great with a nice crusty bread on the side."

This recipe is outstanding! It's everything you say it is! The wonderful aroma while it bakes... has everyone hanging around in the kitchen until it's done...and tastes even better! I trim the fat from a thick chuck roast, and cut it up into stew size pieces. Thank you!
