Sprinkle with worcestershire sauce, pour stewed tomatoes over all, cover and cook on Low 10-12 hours. Note: Variable amounts are for 3-1/2 or 5 quart pots. There is lots of gravy, which may be thickened with cornstarch if desired. Sometimes instead of potatoes, cook large elbow macaroni separately and put the macaroni in the bowl with leftover stew to soak up the good gravy.
