When it comes to this thick down-home stew, Iola Egle lets her slow cooker do the work. "Then I simply toss together a green salad and dinner is ready," she pens from Bella Vista, Arkansas.

I've been making this recipe for years now and it's always my "go to" recipe for a great, hearty beef stew. I've shared this recipe with many friends and family when I've been asked about a good beef stew. I use V-8 as well when I don't have regular tomato juice on hand. I won't go with any other recipe. I serve with some fresh baked dinner rolls. Talk about a great Fall/Winter meal. YUM!! This one is excellent!

Fantastic stew! I cut the onions into bigger chunks instead of slices. I served with biscuits! It was thick, hearty, and delicious! Total comfort food!

All this need was some more taste. It lack some flavor.

There must have been something wrong with my slow cooker because it took 17 hours on low to do a 3 lb piece of meat. BUT it wasn't the meat that wasn't done it was the potatoes! I pulled them out and popped them in the micro because I couldn't wait any longer for them to get done. The flavor was excellent. Next time I will cook it on high for 5-6 hours I think.

This is very good. The only change I made was to replace half of the water with red wine.
