“This is a great cold-weather meal,“ says Bettina Turner from Kernersville, North Carolina. “I love it because everything‘s in one pot. Add a good loaf of bread and you’re all set.“

So good, the perfect winter supper. I omitted the onion/garlic, added Italian herbs, thyme and salt.

Easy to make and very delicious. The carb is low too. It works for someone who is on diabetic diet. I added more carrots and celery.

My husband said "fabulous" and please make it again!!!! I did eliminate the salt and added two full cans of beef broth (29 oz). instead of 24 oz.

My dutch oven is bare cast iron (not good with tomatoes) so I did this in a clay cooker (Romertopf 109) with no modifications to the recipe. It prepared perfectly! For the clay cooker it probably could have had the liquid reduced a little but as written it worked just fine. Next time I might toss in some mushrooms at the end and maybe some sliced bell pepper or zucchini in the middle.

Very good recipe. I added a bottle of guinness and another tablespoon of flour (my husband loves guinness) and it turned out great!

This is an excellent recipe! My husband was never one to like beef stew, but after trying this recipe he has been converted. I didn't change anything about this recipe.

This is my husband's most requested recipe. Everyone I have served it to has raved about it. I double the recipe and freeze extra servings for a quick dinner anytime.

This is the best beef stew recipe I have ever tasted. It's easy, uses ingredients I already have, and the family loves it!
You could use a crock pot, but, if at all possible, invest in a cast iron enamel dutch oven (Le Creuset is best). I regret that I had been married for 18 years before I finally bought one and it makes all the difference.

Response to Mrshall07: Until a few months ago, I didn't know what a dutch oven was either. I love to make soups, stews, chili, etc and kept finding recipes that used a dutch oven. Finally, I bought one (Lodge brand) at a Kitchen Collection store and have made many awesome recipes with it. I would recommend getting one with a porcelain glaze like mine. The alternative is the plain cast iron type. While these are also very good, the cast iron reacts with tomatoes and is therefore not a good choice for me. Whatever the brand, a dutch oven is a great thing to have. You should be able to find one in most stores that sell decent pots and pans. Also, I would recommend getting a large one like my 6 quart. Good luck and congratulations on your recent marriage.

I'm a fairly new newly wed...I don't have a dutch oven, can I use a crock pot? Or where can I find a dutch oven?

This is the best stew recipe I've ever made. It was very easy to make, and everybody raved about it! I doubled it and put it into a large oven roasting pan that I usually cook my turkey in. It was perfect!
