This was sooo simple to make. Thank you for the excellent recipe! I have been a Taste of Home fan for 16 years. The stew was delicious; my family LOVED it!

I did this one in an iron dutch oven on the stove top. Slow simmering helped add flavor throughout, and took about 3 hours. Perfect for dividing up to take with me to work and freezing the rest! A raisen applesause scone with a cup of yogurt completes my meal!

Made this as written but found that it was missing "something". Tasted a little bland. Next time I try this one I'll do what "patastl" did and add the French's stew seasoning to this. Definitely one to play with to find that "right" combination

This was the best stew I have ever eaten. I did add 1/2 diced green pepper and carton of fresh mushrooms before I added the beef. I also added French's stew seasoning and added that to the beef for a couple of minutes before adding the beef to the slow cooker. Made a thick stew which was a five star.

This was a very easy recipe to follow. It didn't taste bad but it was a bit bland for me. I'd look for another recipe next time I want to make beef stew.

I add some green beans and instead of using diced tomatoes I used a can of crushed tomatoes.
