I have a similar recipe that can be cooked in the crock pot. Clearly the concept of slow cooking is not new, and even more, I love the thought of putting the food in to cook and forgetting about it for a while.

Stayabed Stew – 275 5 hrs

2# beef stew (meat)

1 can small peas

1 c sliced carrots

2 chopped onions

1 tsp salt

Pepper

1 can cream of tomato, celery or mushroom soup, thinned with 1/2 can water. 1 big raw potato sliced. Put in casserole. Cover.
