Don'T Peek Stew

• 2 lbs stewing beef (cubed)
• 5 medium potatoes (cut into large cubes)
• 6 carrots, cleaned and sliced round
• 2 stalks celery (sliced)
• 1 onion, cut into thin slices
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 3 tablespoons minute tapioca
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 quart tomato juice

1. Using a large Dutch oven, put in the beef first--this is the first layer.
2. The 2nd layer is carrots.
3. The 3rd layer is celery.
4. The 4th layer is onions.
5. Then combine all of the dry ingredients.
6. Combine dry ingredients with tomato juice.
7. Pour this mixture over the meat and veggies.
8. Cover with lid or foil.
9. Bake 5 hours at 200 degrees.
10. The secret is the slow baking and not peeking.
