I actually give my mom credit for this one. She used to make it, and when I got my crockpot it was the first thing I put in it. A few weeks ago, our babysitter's son had en emergency appendectomy so I took the beginning stage of this recipe. All she had to do was bake it. Around 9 in the evening she called me, confessed she was on her third bowl, and planned to hide the leftovers in the back of the fridge so her teenager wouldn't find it. Ha! I know I've mentioned that my kitchen is now vegetarian, but if my husband wanted to be a meat eater for a day THIS is what he'd get. If I really want to make an impression, I pop a loaf of frozen bread dough in a pan and let it rise. The house smells soooo wonderful with the fresh bread baking and the stew well, stewing. Enjoy!
Magic Stew
2 pounds stew meat
2 onions, sliced
2 stalks celery, cut
6 carrots, cut (or baby carrots)
4 large potatoes, quartered
2 Tablespoons salt
1/4 Tablespoon pepper
2 Tablespoons Minute Tapioca
1 Tablespoon sugar
6 ounces V-8
6 ounces Tomato Juice
Place meat in crockpot, then put the veggies on top. In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, tapioca, and sugar. Sprinkle over veggies. Pour V-8 and tomato juice over veggies. Cook on low for 12 hours, or high for 6 hours Stir before serving.
You can also bake this for 4 hours at 350 degrees.

Tasha - can I just ignorantly ask (since I'm sooo not a cook) what is stew meat? Is it something I have to make or can you buy it? I'm so sorry for such a dumb question....Thanks!
(I almost went on bbc and posted a thread to you about this, but decided I didn't want to be so openly stupid! LOL)
Jules, stew meat can conveniently be found with the beef at your grocery store. I'm sure the butcher could also help you out.
