Beef Stew - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lb. beef stew meat
1 medium onion, diced
1 (7 oz.) jar stuffed olives
1 can beef broth
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 medium green pepper
1 box fresh mushrooms
1 c. long grain wild rice (uncooked)

Preparation

Brown the stew meat in olive oil.
Add onion and simmer 2 minutes.
Put all ingredients (except rice) in crock-pot.
Cook for 4 to 5 hours.
One hour before time to eat, add the rice.
I only use 1/2 cup rice so that there will be more liquid.
Use the liquid from the olives.
I never add any extra salt.
This stew freezes very well.
I freeze small containers for later meals.
