Need to feed an army?

This recipe was so YUMMY! It serves 10 or more people. I love to make it and eat the leftovers the next day.
PARTY SWISS STEAK
4 lbs beef round, top or bottom, cut about 1/2 in. thick
3/4 cup flour
4-6 Tbsp shortening
1 Tbsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp thyme
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2 cups water
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped green pepper
4 cans (14 oz) stewed tomatoes
Hot steamed rice
Cut meat into strips and dredge with 1/2 cup of the flour. Brown in hot shortening. Remove meat to a large dutch oven or roasting pan. Blend remaining flour with hot drippings, add seasonings. Gradually blend in water. Add vegetables. Cook and stir until slightly thickened. Pour mixture over meat, cover with lid, and bake at 300 degrees for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until meat is tender. Serve over hot steamed rice.

I used my big skillet to brown the meat. Then put it into my big stock pot.

This is the gravy/vegetables.
Throw it all together, put the lid on, and bake it. It is SOOOOO GOOD and easy to make!
I will be posting some pictures of all the fun Susan and I have been having the past couple of days. Hope you all enjoy this recipe.
