Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 13×9-inch or 3-quart baking dish and set it aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, water, tapioca, sugar, salt, and pepper. Then stir in the remaining ingredients. Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish. Cover and bake the dish for 2 hours, or until the meat and vegetables are tender.
