Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325&# 194;°F (165ðC).
  2. In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, stir the condensed tomato soup, condensed cream of mushroom soup, and water together until smooth.

Note

Storage: Allow the stew to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It freezes well for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Substitutions: You can use chicken stew meat instead of beef for a lighter version. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can partially blend the stew after cooking.

Tip: For extra flavor, sauté the mushrooms and beef in butter before adding the soups and water, then proceed with the baking instructions.
