Laura's Beef Stew

Laura (Limburg) R. brought a large quantity of this stew to us soon after Wayne had his heart attack and discharged from the hospital  I LIKED it, and asked her for the recipe.  Here it is-- use the quantities that fit for your family:

1-2# stew meat, cut into chunks (I like to brown the chunks, first)
Carrots, cut into 1 " pieces
Potatoes, cut into 1" cubes
Onions, sliced pole to pole
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mix the following very well and pour this over the above layers as directed below:

1 can cream of celery soup
1 can tomato soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 packet of Lipton onion soup mix

~~~~~~~~~~~

Laura said she puts layers of this in a heavy pot-- meat, vegetables, meat, vegetables-- while pouring small amounts of the 'blended together soups' in the bottom and between each layer (with extra poured over the top).  She then puts it in a 225-degree oven for all day.  This also works in a crock pot for all day.
