Beef Stew with a Tomato Soup Base



Continuing with the theme of crock pot meals, I offer this take on beef stew. It is based on my mother's meat loaf recipe. So far, I got high praise from my teenager. 

Ingredients:

Beef chuck, diced
2 cans of Campbell's Tomato Soup
1/4 cup mustard
1/4 cup ketchup
1/3 large white onion, chopped
1/2 pepper, chopped (honestly doesn't matter of green, red, yellow, orange or purple - but if you wanted heat, a jalepeno, chili or habenero pepper would do nicely)
Baby carrots
4 potatoes, peeled and diced
Spring each of rosemary, thyme and basil (I used purple basil)
Salt and pepper to taste. 



The recipe is very simple. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Put everything in the crock pot in the morning before going to work. Cook on low. Eat when you get home. 

In this case, I cooked the stew for a good 10 hours before I ate any.
