This recipe came from my great-aunt, Helen Johnson, who lived in Oak Park, Illinois. It is delicious and filling and makes enough for leftovers. My family loves it. It is especially good with apple bars for dessert -- it makes a really delicious meal in the fall.

How To Make aunt helen's beef stew

1
Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

2
In a large roaster, combine all ingredients except peas. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 250 degrees for 5 hours.

Before serving, stir in the peas. (The peas are my own addition because I like them -- they were not in Aunt Helen's original recipe. Feel free to omit them if you don't like them.)
