Instructions: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. If using the tiny potatoes, peel a strip around the center of each. If using the medium potatoes, cut them into chunks. Set the potatoes aside.

Lightly spray an unheated Dutch oven with no-stick spray. Add the meat and brown it over medium-high heat. Drain and discard any pan drippings.

In a medium bowl, stir together the vegetable juice cocktail, Worcestershire sauce and basil. Pour the juice mixture over the meat. Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Add the potatoes, carrots, onions and celery. Bake, covered, for 45 to 60 minutes more or until the meat and vegetables are tender.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
