Staring into the fridge at 5 p.m., wondering what to make?
This 4-ingredient Amish-style stew is your answer.
Just pour tomato soup over raw stew meat, add two pantry staples, and walk away. Five hours later, you’ll have a rich, savory, tomato-based stew with tender beef and vegetables—so comforting, it tastes like it simmered all day on a farmhouse stove.
It’s humble, hearty, and perfect for busy weeknights when “I don’t know what to cook” strikes.
