This stew is perfect for warming up on a wintry day. It is a good dish to make when you're busy, since it's quick to prepare and doesn't need attention while cooking. Instead of noodles, I often serve it with rice.

Ingredients:
• 2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast or top round steak, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
• 1 tablespoon browning sauce, 'optional'
• 1/4 cup dry cream of rice cereal
• 4 medium carrots, cut into 1-1/2-inch chunks
• 2 cups thinly sliced onions
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) whole mushrooms, drained
• Hot cooked noodles

Directions
In a medium Dutch oven or 3-qt. casserole, toss meat with browning sauce. Mix in cereal. Add all remaining ingredients except noodles.

Cover and bake at 325° for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until the meat and vegetables are tender. Serve with noodles.
