This savory baked beef and vegetable casserole is a hearty and flavorful dish, perfect for a comforting family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a large bowl, combine the diced tomatoes with their juice, water, tapioca, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the tapioca is evenly distributed.
Add the carrots, potatoes, celery, onion, and beef to the bowl and mix well to coat everything with the sauce.
Cut vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 13x9-inch baking dish.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 3/4 to 2 hours, or until the beef and vegetables are tender.
Check for doneness by piercing the vegetables with a fork.
Remove from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, and serve warm.
Letting it rest allows the flavors to meld together.
