DIRECTIONS

Trim any fat from meat cubes; set aside. Mix flour and seasonings together in a bag, put the meat in the bag too and shake to coat meat with the flour mixture. Place coated meat and all remaining ingredients in a 3-4 quart casserole or dutch oven and mix.
(TRUST ME - there will be enough liquid - do NOT add more than the canned tomatoes!).
Cover and bake at 275 degrees for 4 hours or until meat is very tender. This recipe makes four very LARGE servings (or smaller with leftovers) and is a great company recipe especially for those who can't cook or are pressed for time. Turn on or pre-set your oven to come on at 2:00 and you will be serving at 6:00. Serve with crusty bread or rolls, a green salad and a good bottle of wine. So easy and so delicious! Bon appetite!
