Easy Beef 'n Gravy

My best friend gave me this recipe many years ago, it is very easy, fast and flavourful. Can be served with rice, mashed or baked potatoes, noodles of any kind! Don't like mushrooms? The beef over takes the flavour of this dish and mushrooms go almost unnoticed!

1 lb fresh stew beef (can be pre-frozen)

2 cans cream of mushroom soup

salt and pepper to taste

1. Cut meat into bite sized pieces.

2. Pour mushroom soup into baking dish and stir to coat meat pieces.

3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper (optional)

4. Bake with a lid for about 30-40 minutes, until meat is tender.

Serve hot with your favourite potatoes, rice, noodles and a vegetable!

Alternatives:

* Cut up a steak for even more tender meat
* Try using other meats in place of beef (and vary the creamed soup to accompany it).

Optional Add-Ins:

* Chopped onions and garlic prior to baking
* Add 1 cup of your favourite frozen veggie prior to baking.

Sodium content:

* Canned soups are notorious for high salt contents. Try choosing low salt alternatives or make your own soups.
