Ingredients

1.5 pounds beef stew meat

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

1 packet brown gravy mix

1 packet onion soup mix

1 cup water

1.5 cups pearl onions

2 cups golden potatoes, diced

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

2. In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, brown gravy mix, onion soup mix, and water. Stir until smooth.

3. Add the beef stew meat, pearl onions, and diced golden potatoes to the bowl. Stir to coat everything evenly in the sauce.

4. Pour the mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.

5. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours without removing the foil or stirring.

6. Carefully remove from oven, uncover, and stir gently.

7. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

Use chuck roast or stew meat for the best tender texture—leaner cuts may turn dry.

Avoid lifting the foil during cooking—keeping it sealed ensures the meat stays juicy and the gravy thickens.

You can prep this dish a day ahead, store it in the fridge, and bake it the next day.
