Ingredients

¼ Cup All Purpose Flour

2 ½ Pound Boneless Beef Chuck Roast, Trimmed and Cut Into 1 Inch Cubes

2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil

About 2 Cups Water

2 Large Beef Bouillon Cubes

10.5oz. Can Condensed Tomato Soup

1 Tbsp. Italian Seasoning

2 Bay Leaves

½ Tsp Black Pepper

2 Small Onions Sliced

2 Large Russet Potatoes, Peeled and Cut Into 1 1/2 Inch Pieces

2-3 Medium Carrots, Cut Into 1 Inch Pieces

2 Stalks Celery, Cut Into 1 Inch Pieces

8oz. Whole Mushrooms, Trimmed

¾ Cup Frozen Peas, Thawed (optional)

Instructions

Pour flour into a 1 gallon resealable plastic bag.  Add meat, in batches, and shake to evenly coat all pieces.

Add oil to a large skillet and heat.  Once oil is hot add meat in batches and brown. When it’s all browned add to crockpot. Then add 1 1/2 cups water and bouillon cubes to the skillet and cook, stirring up the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet and dissolving the bouillon cubes. Remove from heat and add tomato soup, Italian seasonings, bay leaves and black pepper and stir to combine.  Pour into the crock pot over beef. Add the onions, potatoes, carrots, celery and mushrooms.

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef and veggies are tender. If needed, add more water.  Add the thawed peas the last 20-30 minutes of cooking.  Discard bay leaves and Serve
