  Git the Dutch Oven jist as hot as ye can git it. Put the Bay Leafs in the bottom (Keep count of Bay Leafs so you can retrieve and remove before serving, They can be a choke hazard).

  Sit back and enjoy about three rounds of Euchre. Tend the oven with a little gentle stirring every 1/2 hour or so. Should be done in 2 to 2 1/2 hours. If the gravy inside looks a little thin sprinkle on 1/4 cup additional Flour, and give a gentle stir. Cook at 350 degrees if cooking in oven.
