Delicious Beef Stew

This is my Great-Grandmother's recipe. It is from America, but she was from Belgium.

This dish is special because it had been handed down from generation to generation.

Ingredients:

2 to 3 lbs. stew meat (cut into cubes)
1 can beef consommé
1 can golden mushroon soup
1 package dry onion soup mix
½ cup catsup
½ cup burgundy or other dry red wine
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
4 to 5 potatoes, cubed
4 to 5 carrots, cubed
celery, chopped coarsely

Preparation:

Brown the beef in a skillet with onions and garlic and celery. Beef should not be done, just seared.

Place beef in a large covered roaster or use a crock pot along with all the remaining ingredients and bake in a 325 oven for 3 hours or in a crock pot on low for 6 hours or until carrots and potatoes are done.

I like the veggies in large chunks. You may also add a bag of your favorite frozen veggies.
