I've finally found an easy and delicious slow cooker beef stew!! I would follow the recipe again, except that I would cut the celery and carrots into thick slices and not chopped. Also, I didn't have frozen corn, so I used one cup of peas. I will try it next time with both the peas and corn, although the all-peas version was just fine.

I will make this again and again. It's delicious! The only change I made was to add a teaspoon of sugar before I added the corn starch, corn and peas, because it needed something to pull the flavors together. I think this will be even better tomorrow. Delicious.

This was awesome! The only thing I did different was add ground Thyme instead of dried because that's what I had. I used the spicy V8 and added a little garlic powder. It was so delicious! I will be making this again and again!! Thanks Stephanie and Taste of Home!!

Made this stew today as written with one change - didn't have frozen corn or peas but had leftover mixed vegetables so subbed 1 cup for the peas/corn. It was delicious! My hubby liked it, and he's not much on soups and stews. I will definitely make this again. So quick, easy and flavorful.

I made this for my husband and he did not care for it. He doesn't like onions-I would have to leave them out if I made it again.

I had trouble getting it to thicken, but it was yummy! Next time I will skip the cornstarch.

As before, I doubled the ingredients (except salt, this I added after cooking, about ¼ tsp). I add 2 Tbsp Tabasco, as I find that there are few ?made dishes? that it does not go well in. I will definitely make this stew again. Next time I will add two or three cloves of fresh garlic. This is one cool weather meat that I will always keep in my cookbook. This time I served it with crusty French bread. It was delicious.
