ALRIGHT, NOW TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT YOUR GOING TO COOK FOR US. The World's Easiest Beefstew Casserole. This is a good wintertime dish and we're close enough to fall to start thinking about it. ALRIGHT, LET'S DO IT. We cook it, put it in a crockpot in the morning, it's ready when you come home at night. I start with 2 pounds of chuck steak. I'd rather get that than stew meat. Cut it up into bite-size cubes. ALRIGHT, LET'S HAVE YOU DO IT FOR US? I've got another piece to work on now. Once the meat is all cut into cube-sizes, Andrew, I use a little worchestershire sauce and some seasoned salt to flavor the dish. TO BRING OUT THE TASTE.. Yes. To taste. AND YOU SAID IT WAS REAL EASY, SO ALL YOU DO IS SPRINKLE THE STUFF ON THERE AND ONE BY ONE WE'RE GOING TO KEEP PUTTING ON MORE INGREDIENTS INTO THE CROCKPOT, RIGHT? We are indeed. Yes. I like a lot of worchestershire. Other people might want to try it a little more lightly at first and build up from there. Then we dump it in. ALRIGHT, DO IT. You'll want to use onion to taste too. You might not like as much onion in it as somebody else might. I LIKE TO PUT GOGGLES ON WHEN I'M CUTTIN UP ONIONS. That's not a bad idea. This is pungent, we need the Smell-A-Vision here. I'll just cut a couple of good-size slices which we'll chop up and add to the mix after everything else is ready. Then a can of tomato soup goes in. This is the easy part. THAT WAS PRETTY EASY. That's why we can call it the World's Easiest Beefstew. I made a mess, didn't I. THAT'S ALRIGHT. A half a can of water. It's getting easier all the time. THIS IS EASY. This is one thing I insist on, the little baby peas in the silver can. If you don't like green peas you can substitute green beans, almost anything else. YEAH, THEY LOOK A LITTLE SMALLER THAN NORMAL. Got it. And now, I should have peeled these potatoes before you got here. We'll peel and cut in cubes 2 potatoes and add those to the mix. Whatever size you think. We're there. Let's look at the ingredients and be sure we didn't miss anything. Ah, the bay leaf. WE DID MISS THE BAY LEAF. HOW ABOUT YOU HUNT THAT DOWN, I'LL PUT THE POTATOES AND ONIONS IN THERE AND WE'LL GET READY TO ROLL. THIS IS REMARKABLY EASY, JUST CHOP THE STUFF UP. Throw it in. AND LET THE CROCKPOT DO THE WORK, RIGHT? Yeah. And the one thing you need to know if you're not somebody who cooks regularly with bay leaf is, when the stew is done take the bay leaf out so nobody bites into the darned thing. Where's the bay leaf? WHAT DO THINK? DID WE FIND IT? It's here somewhere. WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT, LET'S PRETEND AND HOW ABOUT WE COME BACK TO IT. Let's pretend. ALRIGHT. IN GOES THE BAY LEAF. In goes the bay leaf. WE LEAVE THAT A MINUTE. WE MIX UP A LITTLE BIT. LET IT WAIT ALL DAY. Mix it up. Turn it on low. Let it cook all day. When you come home tonight it's ready. OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TOMORROW AT WORK, HOW ABOUT THAT. That's right.
ALRIGHT, WE'LL SEE YOU THEN. THANK'S FOR LETTING US COME TO YOUR HOUSE. Thank you very much. ABOUT 10 HOURS LATER THIS IS WHAT WE GET. There it is. The World's Easiest Beef Stew. The first thing we want to do. We brought this to the station. It's cooked all day. We want to fish out this bay leaf so nobody eats it. VERY GOOD. Get rid of it and then I'm going to give it a stir. THE BOUQUET... THE SMELL IS VERY NICE HERE. IT'S FILLING UP THE WHOLE KITCHEN AND THE BACK HALL AT THE STATION. If only it were SMELL-A-VISION, right? VERY NICE. Alright, you sample this and tell me what you think. LET'S DO IT. YOU TALK ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE OVER THERE WAITING TO COME GET A BITE. VERY GOOD! GOOD STUFF - THE WORLD'S EASIEST BEEFSTEW.

(( The village at the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park looks much look it did back in April, 1865.
Only now, it's groups of tourists walking the old trails that used to carry stage coaches.
Appomattox is the topic of many chapters in history books, but a visit here is more true- to -life.

Visitors can learn from a variety of exhibits-- including printed materials, historical paintings, and fiber-optic maps.
And this living history presentation depicts a Union soldier who served provost duty here during the 18-60s.
Since 19-54, the village has been designated as a national historical park.

It was in the parlor of the McLean House, where Generals Lee and Grant sat down for their historic agreement.
The house is a re- construction, but most of the other 27 buildings in the village are originals.
Meanwhile, some restoration projects are scheduled to begin this Fall.

The average cost of admission is two- dollars.
