WINTER CARNIVAL STEW

This recipe was given to me by a friend in Montana.  Great comfort food for winter!

Place in crockpot in order given:

     1 lb. stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces

     4 medium carrots, cut into 1" chunks 

     4-5 medium potatoes, cut in large chunks

     1 medium onion, sliced

     1 Tbsp. salt

     1/2 tsp. pepper

     1 - 15 1/2 oz. can regular green beans, drained

     1 - 4 oz. can mushroom stems and pieces, undrained

           OR fresh mushrooms plus about 1/4 cup water

     1 1/2 cans (10 3/4 oz. each) Campbell's Tomato Soup, undiluted

Cook on low for about 6-8 hours.

Optional:  Stir in a lime to mix flavors as the day goes by.

                Use chicken chunks instead of stew meat.
