Favorite Brown Meat Stew

• 1 lb. beef
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1/2 tsp. paprika
• 1/4 c. flour
• 2 Tbsp. Crisco
• 1 c. water
• 1 Tbsp. Kitchen Bouquet
• 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 Tbsp. catsup
• 4 medium potatoes
• 4 medium carrots
• 4 medium onions

1. Roll beef in blended salt, pepper, paprika and flour to coat each piece.
2. Then brown the meat in the Crisco in a heavy kettle. This browning gives rich, brown gravy and extra flavor to the meat, so it pays to take time to do a thorough job here.
3. Add water and seasonings.
4. Cover tightly and simmer about 2 hours.
5. (Do not boil. "Let the water smile, but never laugh.")
6. Add the prepared vegetables.
7. Cover and cook another 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
