We weren't impressed by this recipe. To be fair, our expectations were high due to the rave reviews, but I probably won't make this again.

One thing I did like was using Italian dressing to to brown the meat. It added a little zing and I liked the interesting flavor.

Thanks for the recipe!

Fantastic recipe!! There aren't enough stars here to give this recipe the kudos it deserves. I made the stew with no changes, and my family LOVED it! I am actually throwing away my family recipe for stew, because it just cannot compete with this one. This stew is so rich and flavorful! Many thanks!!

I loved this recipe!!! It was hit at my last potluck. This was the first time I have ever made a stew. But I will be sure to make this one again. I did make some changes: I used 2 cups of beef broth instead of 2 cups water and beef granules. I also used a 300 gram bag of frozen veggies (for ease of prep)it had peas, carrots, corn and green beans instead of recipes carrots/green pepper. All the colors looked beautiful!! I served this potato dumplings -Yum- real comfort food!
