Oven Baked Stew

Another good find via Pinterest from The Girl Who Everything.  An easy, throw together meal that you can do in the crock pot too.  Hubs and I enjoyed it.  The 5 year old did not approve of this one. Of course, she's also the one who told her friends mom that she was allergic to normal size carrots but not the baby ones.

What I used:

1 envelope dry onion soup mix
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1 1/2 lbs beef stew meat (cut into bite size pieces.)
6-8 baby red potatoes, peeled and cut into fourths
1 small, sweet white onion.  Cut into 2" chunks
half of a small bag of baby carrots, cut in half
1 (14.5 oz) can cream of celery soup
1/2 C. ketchup

1.  Preheat oven to 325 degrees
2. In a large zip lock bag combine onion soup mix, paprika, salt and stew meat.  Shake until well coated. Place seasoned meat in baking dish.
3.  Arrange potatoes, onions and carrots on top of meat.
4.  In small bowl, combine cream of celery soup and ketchup.  Pour mixture over meat and vegetables.
5.  Cover and bake for 2 hours.

Crock pot option:  Prepare as above, cook on low for 4-6 hours or until potatoes are tender.
