                    Peggy Key of Grant, Alabama uses only a couple of common ingredients to turn beef stew meat into a hearty entree. No one will ever guess the secret behind her great goulash-an envelope of sloppy joe seasoning. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1/2 cup water  |  
                                                1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste  |  
                                                2 tablespoons cider vinegar  |  
                                                1 envelope sloppy joe seasoning  |  
                                                2 to 2-1/4 pounds beef stew meat (3/4-inch cubes)  |  
                                                1 celery rib, cut into 1/2-inch slices  |  
                                                1 medium green pepper, cut into 1/2-inch chunks  |  
                                                hot cooked rice or noodles  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the water, tomato paste, vinegar and sloppy joe seasoning. Stir in the beef, celery and green pepper.
