1.5 lbs chuck roast, cut into bite-size chunks 1 cup celery, cut into chunks 4 carrots, chunked 2-3 medium potatoes, cut into chunks 1 onion, sliced 1-2 cup fresh bread crumbs 1 large (20 ounce) can tomatoes 1 Tbsp salt 2 Tbsp sugar 3 Tbsp minute tapioca 3 generous splashes Worcestershire sauce Dash oregano (optional)
In a baking dish with a tight fitting lid combine all the ingredients. Do not brown the meat. Cover. Bake in a 250 F oven for 5-6 hours. Don't hurry the stew, as the long cooking time and slow oven are the key to its success.
