I have made this delicious stew twice now. The only changes I made was to add 3 cloves of garlic and some parsnips and turnip. I also double the recipe so there will be leftovers for more delicious meals. Thanks for the recipe.

My husband and I loved this recipe! It was so easy to make, and definitly tasty. What I really enjoyed was that it made enough tasty leftovers for a few days!

This was a very good recipe. A little short on flavor. However I would make it again with a few alterations.

Easy and tasty!! I doubled potaoes & carrots,added spicy hot V-8(3 little cans) for some heat with the broth. Have made it twice now.A favorite!

This is a great starter recipe. I doubled the amount of meat (I guess this makes me a carnivore). It took a little longer (about 9 hours) to cook. And the finished stew was very salty. I used low sodium V8 juice and beef broth. The next time I will eliminate the salt altogether. I also added 1 ½ Tbls of Tabasco, along with the V8 juice it gave the broth a rich tangy taste.

The ratio for the water to cornstarch is not correct. Use a ½ cup of water to 2 Tbls of cornstarch in a plastic container with a well sealed lid and shake vigorously until well mixed.

I will make this stew over and over. I served the stew with bread sticks but biscuits or a good crusty bread would be good as well.

I LOVED this stew! I doubled broth and V8 and omitted corn and peas but added green beans. Also did not used cornstarch because I made dumplings. Will make this over and over it is a keeper!

A keeper. Even better the second night over rice. Great meal on a cold winter's night. Yum!

This is so simple and delicious! All 5 members of my family ate it and yummed the whole time. I doubled the meat for our meat loving crew.
