Connecticut Beef Supper

Submitted by Chef #1065916

"This is a casserole made with stew meat and potatoes that I obtained many years ago from a recipe club that I subscribed to and it has become a favorite with our family. Now that my kids are all married they all prepare it for their families. And if you take it to a pot luck, make sure you take a copy of the recipe because someone is sure to ask you for it."

I used to make this from my green recipe box from the 70s for dinner parties. I lost the recipe. Was glad to see this recipe again as I want to make it for my "girls" weekend later this month.

This has been a family favorite for as long as I can remember. It originally came in a set of recipe cards that my mom subscribed to. This one is a keeper!

I grew up with this dish as a favorite of mine. I now make it for my children. It is loved by everyone. I never have leftovers.

My family also have been making this since the 70's too! I remember my mom had a lime green box full of the recipe cards. It's one of those recipe that you can trick your kids into eating if they just don't see what's actually in it, lol. My only recommendation, is to drain some of the water too keep it from boiling over in the oven.Enjoy!
