Perfect starter recipe. I added 1 jalapeno finely chopped and a tablespoonof tomato paste. Very tasty without being too spicy!

Made this last night for us and we enjoyed it. The V8 juice I think added an extra depth of flavour to this stew. I liked that it went on in the morning and was ready at supper time with just a few minutes to thicken it just before we ate.

I love a good crockpot recipe, and this is one of those! While I did like this recipe, it seemed very salty to me (but my husband loved it). Maybe it was my broth. I would try it with no-salt-added/low-sodium broth or just not add salt next time. Other than that, this recipe is perfect!

Very tasty.The amount of cornstarch and cold water listed was incorrect. I ended up adding more water to make a thickener.

Good, easy beef stew...I will take other's suggestions to season the meat and use more beef stock, and maybe a little more chili powder, salt and pepper, to taste, next time. Looking forward to leftovers tomorrow

It was really good. The next day was even better. We cooked the meat first. I added some gravy I had left over from the night before. I used tomato juice instead of V-8. I didn't have a bay leave. I will get some for next time. My whole family would like this.I don't have a slow cooker so I put it in a heavy pan and cooked it in the oven on 200 for about 6 hours. Than turned the oven up to 350 and added the corn and peas and thickner for another hour and a half. It turned out perfect.

Great flavor. Next time I think I will season my meat with a small amount of salt and pepper before adding the rest of the ingredients. Great for kids over hot egg noodles.
