Stew Over Mashed Potatoes

A friend made this a few years ago, and I HAD to have the recipe. It's been a family favorite ever since! For the best mashed potato recipe, go here.

Stew Over Mashed Potatoes

1 package beef stew meat
2 cans beef consumme (next to the beef broth)
4 or 5 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
2 packets brown gravy mix

Flour stew meat, then place in large skillet over medium heat. Add beef consumme and cook for about 2 hours until meat is tender, stirring occasionally. Add carrots and cook about 30 minutes or until carrots are soft. Mix gravy packets with 2 cups water, then add to skillet and stir until sauce thickens. Serve over mashed potatoes.
