Meet the Cook: Because I've never entered a recipe contest before, I hesitated before sending my stew in. I knew, though, it not only was so good but anybody could make it. You just throw the ingredients into a pot and stir! I've been cooking 40 years. My husband and I have one grown daughter. -Carol Smith, Stuart, Florida

Ingredients:
2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 large carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 medium onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 celery ribs, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 medium parsnips, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Italian stewed tomatoes
1-1/2 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
1 can (8 ounces) without-added-salt tomato sauce
1/2 cup quick-cooking tapioca
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions:
In a 5-qt. Dutch oven, combine all ingredients. Cover and bake at 350° for 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 hours, or until the meat and vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
