When there's a chill in the air, nothing beats this stew. Seasoned with thyme and dry mustard, the hearty slow-cooked stew is chock-full of tender carrots, potatoes and beef.—Earnestine Wilson, Waco, Texas

This recipe requires a little bit of work in the beginning, but it is worth it. I added a seasoning pack of Beef Stew seasoning to the meat after browning. In the last 30 minutes of cooking, I added 1 Cup of frozen corn, 1 cup of frozen peas 1 can of green beans, and 1 jar of sliced mushrooms. I also recommend cutting up fresh mushrooms and adding that in with the meat. This is a very hearty meal served with fresh baked bread and a green salad.

The "cook" time listed at the top of the recipe is incorrect; the total cook time is actually 8 1/2 - 9 1/2 hours. I also added 2 additional cups of beef broth; without it, the "stew" was not very stew-like being that it was rather dry.

Very easy and pretty good, but bland. I added a bit of cayenne pepper to it and a little more salt.

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!
