I don't usually like tomato based beef stew, but this was delicious!I added onions and celery, otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. I was a little worried about the beef not cooking being at the top. The recipe didn't say mix everything. I did mix it when the liquid started rising to the top and it cooked perfectly. The meat was so tender, the vegetables cooked to perfection. This is a keeper!

I live alone so this was a great recipe.

I enjoyed it for several days and froze two portions for another time. I made it just as suggested and other than adding extra veggies I wouldn't change a thing.

This was a great stew! I hate chicken noodle soup so when I am sick, I crave stew and this hit the spot! I added some celery and and onion to this and it was the best comfort food!

This is a wonderful stew recipe. I don't add the mushrooms because my husband doesn't like them. I was worried that the veggies would be over done but they were great. I have passed this slow cooker recipe to my friends and everyone loves it. I'm making it tomorrow for my husband's birthday meal....it's what he asked for!
