Homemade beef stew

My husband dislikes beef stew with a passion. However, he loves this recipe and the way I make it. Therefore, I thought I would share my recipe with all of my readers and fans. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

2 lb beef stew meat
8 c water
3 beef bouillon cubes
3 bay leaves
1 1/2 tsp parsley
1 1/2 tsp basil
2 Tbsp cajun seasoning
2 tsp minced garlic
1 (15 oz) can sliced potatoes, drained
1 (14.5 oz) can sliced carrots, drained
1 (14.5 oz) can green beans, drained
2/3 c uncooked rice

Combine all ingredients and spices in a large pot or stew pan. Let cook for 30 minutes -1 hour, until the rice is tender and the meat is cooked all the way through. Do stir occassionally and check water level. The water should cover all ingredients by about an inch at least at all times.
This is wonderful by itself or you can add a biscuit or even cornbread to go with it.
