I love this dish in the winter time. It is easy and if you do it right it can be cheap:)I use an inexpensive cut of meat because it becomes fork tender while cooking. You don't have to buy the most expensive meat when shopping. Inexpensive cuts will do good in any dish that has some type of marinating liquid. We buy everything in bulk and then freeze portions. It is cheaper then going to the store everyday buying meat. Always look for sales and then take advantage:) We have a store here that offers chicken breasts for 99 cents a pound. You have to purchase 3 lbs or more but it is way cheaper because you can freeze the extra for another meal. Also on most items the store brand is just as good as the name brand. I use the store brand onion soup mix and you can't taste a difference. I also use the store brand cream of mushroom. I find it to be better then cambells. I also buy the store brand canned carrots. I save 89 cents buying 4 cans of the store brand. Another good tip, I hate peeling potatoes so I buy them canned. They sell them sliced and those are the ones I use in this recipe.

This recipe comes from my mom's old Church Auxillary cook book.
