Saucy Forgotten Beef may have a strange name, but it's a classic comfort food recipe that's been around for decades. This dish was popularized in the 1950s and 60s when convenience foods like canned soup became more widely available. It's known as a 'forgotten' recipe because it's usually left in the oven for hours and forgotten about until the meat falls apart and can be easily shredded with a fork. Despite its humble origins, this Saucy Forgotten Beef recipe remains a family favorite to this day.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
2.	Place the stew meat in a casserole dish.
3.	In a separate bowl, mix together the cheddar cheese soup, cream of mushroom soup, and dry onion soup mix.
4.	Pour the soup mixture over the meat, and stir to combine.
5.	Cover the dish tightly with foil.
6.	Bake for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender. Stir occasionally.
7.	Serve hot over mashed potatoes or rice.

PROS

CONS
