Beef Stew - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pkg. cubed beef
4 or 5 large potatoes
about 3 or 4 c. water
1 pkg. beef stew mix
4 whole carrots or 1 can sliced carrots

Preparation

Brown stew meat in electric skillet or in deep pan. After meat is brown on all sides, add the beef stew mix. Stir this in meat until it starts to thicken, about 30 seconds.
Now add the water, enough to cover the meat real good.
Add the peeled potatoes (cut into small cubes) and sliced carrots. Canned carrots may be used. Now make sure you have enough water for the size pot you are using. Bring to a boil and then turn down to simmer.
Let simmer for several hours or until beef is very tender.
