Beef Stew - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 medium russet potatoes
4 carrots
1 small onion
1 can tomato soup
1 lb fondue beef or 1 lb stewing beef (thawed)
4 bay leaves
5 beef bouillon cubes
oregano
fresh ground pepper

Preparation

Peel potatoes and slice into cubes.
Peel carrots and slice into bite-size chunks.
Dice onion.
Place in slow cooker/crock pot in that order.
Add other ingredients also in order listed.
Fill crock pot with water leaving an inch or so for steam to build at the top.
Cook on low setting for eight hours (Sometimes I omit the potatoes and serve the stew atop homemade baked potatoes using the liquid as a gravy for all the veggies).
