No Peek Beef Casserole is a classic comfort food that has been around for decades. It is popular in the Midwest and Southern parts of the United States. The casserole gets its name from the fact that it is baked covered with foil, and should not be peeked at while cooking. This dish is perfect for a casual family dinner or potluck, as it can easily feed a crowd. The beef becomes incredibly tender during the long cooking process, and the savory flavors of the soup and onion mix complement it perfectly. Serve hot with a side of mashed potatoes or rice and some steamed vegetables.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 300°F.
2.	In a large bowl, mix together the stewing beef, dry onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, sliced mushrooms, and tapioca (if using).
3.	Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish, and cover tightly with foil.
4.	Bake for 3 hours, without peeking, until the beef is tender and the casserole is hot and bubbly.
5.	Serve hot with your favorite sides.
