Beef Stew 

- 1 to 2 lbs of lean beef - cut into cubes 
  about 1 in. square. 
- 1 med. size onion or 1 pkg. cup'o soup 
  mix [Lipton's onion soup mix]. 
- 4 med. size potatoes - cubed 
- 4 carrots - cut into 1 in. pieces. 
- 4 tbsp. ketchup. 

Wash meat in cold water & place in 
a 4 qt. pot.  Cover meat with water 
& bring to a boil over medium heat. 

Add onion or onion soup mix, and 
ketchup.  Cover & simmer until meat 
is tender -- about 1-1/2 hr.  Add carrots 
& potatoes & cook until done.  Add salt 
to taste.  To help tenderize meat, you 
may add a tsp. of lemon juice in 
the beginning.  Seasoning salt may be 
used.          Happy Eating -- Gana 

Make a pan of cornbread & a bowl 
of slaw & you have a meal! 

NOTE: The ketchup is a trick Gana 
learned from Aunt Evelyn Farris.  It adds 
sweetness and a tomato taste but, in the 
proper amount, it's that secret ingredient 
that no one can guess.   ~ Ron.V ~
