Vanilla Pudding Icing

I used a simple Betty Crocker sugar cookie bag mix. I used the recipe for cut out cookies, and used my angle cookie cutter.
1 can diced tomatoes (don't drain. I blend it in a food processor)
1 cup water
3 TB quick cooking tapioca (stick with me here!)
2 ts. Sugar
1 ½ ts. Salt
½ ts. Pepper
2 pounds lean beef stew meat (I bought a package of pre cut beef stew meat. Cut yours in chunks if not already cut up)
4 medium carrots (cut into chunks)
3 medium potatoes; chunks
2 celery ribs; chunks (optional)
1 medium; onion
1 slice bread; cubed
½ can chicken broth
In a large bowl; combine tomates, water, tapioca, sugar, salt and pepper. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Pour into a greased baking pan. Cover and bake at 375 for 1 ½-2 hours (2 hours for more tender meat and veggies). Serve in bowls.
