Preheat oven to 350.

Mix stew meat (no need to brown it first), soups and A-1 sauce in a large roasting pan.  Cover and cook for 2 hours.

After 2 hours, add carrots and onions (I also add turnip).  Cover cook for additional 2 hours.

Yup, that's it ... it makes a creamy, beefy gravy all on its own, and I serve it over mashed potatoes.  All you really need is the 4 hours to let it cook, and I put the time to good use by curling up with a good book or watching a couple of movies.

YUMMY!!

This makes a lot of stew, but it freezes well, especially since there aren't any potatoes in it.
