This was very good. Very easy to make. At the end, before serving, I added a tablespoon of corn starch with a little water to thicken it up a bit. Sometimes I make this and leave out the potatoes and serve it over noodles instead
My first time, in my opinion the dry onion soup mix portion should be cut in half. I plan to do it the next time.
Too salty!
I gave this recipe to stars for effort. I found this recipe Bland and tasteless. after 8 hours of cooking I found that most of my potatoes had never softened up and the carriage were still hard in the center. To fix all the issues with this Beef Stew in the end I wound up adding 1 15 oz can of diced tomatoes with green chilies and 1 Box 32oz of beef stock. The let it cook in the slow cooker for another 3 hours. Then I had what I call a very nice Beef Stew.
My husband loved this recipe !!
Super easy and delicious. I used a can of stewed tomatoes instead of sauce and a few shakes of Worcestershire. Four hours on high.
Love the base sauce in this recipe. Made it last weekend with changes from reading reviews. Used 15 oz tomato sauce and “beefy onion” Lipton onion soup mix. I added I beef bouillon in 8 oz. of water. I added a couple of stalks of celery and 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce. I also used 2 pounds of meat. I cooked the onions and seared the meat in wrought iron skillet before adding to crock pot and used a little bit of white wine to get the little bits left in skillet and added to crock pot. I will only use 2 potatoes next time and even more meat. I cooked for 8 hours on low and then it was on the warm setting for probably 2 hours and my carrots and potatoes were slightly undercooked. With these changes the stew base was delicious. My Mom added more beef broth when heating up leftovers since she likes her’s more “soupy” and it was still awesome! This is my new go to stew recipe.
Recipe came out great. Substituted Italian seasoning and Mrs. Dash (1/2 TBS each) in place of parsley flakes. Plus 1 clove of minced garlic. Definitely will be keeping and using this recipe. JD
This is a great recipe. Very easy Very tasty. I made only a few changes. I added a ton of chopped garlic (because we love garlic) and threw in about 6 oz of fresh sliced mushrooms that I had in the refrigerator. I would add both again. I would also doubled the recipe next time. I froze a portion and it freezes very well. Frozen it would be a quick weekday meal.
Great stew
I replaced the onion dry soup mix with Knorr vegetable soup mix, the one used for spinach dip. Then I added 8 ounces of babybella mushrooms sliced thick. It came out awesome.
really tasty and hearty! my 7 yo asked for seconds. great for keto, subbed frozen corn for potatoes. I used 2 1/2 lbs meat and accidentally used 2 8-oz cans sauce, still came out great! in the rotation for sure
This was just okay to me. My family agreed. I felt it lacked flavor. The meat was delicious and I did 1.5lbs of lean stew meat. If I make again, I will add at least another pound of meat. Also, I used 15oz of organic tomato sauce and added a can of cream of chicken, along with cream of celery. Without the addition of liquid, it wouldn’t have been a stew. I used organic Idaho russet potatoes—wouldn’t recommend. I’ll do gold potatoes, if making again. I browned the beef beforehand with olive oil, Himalayan salt, onion powder and garlic powder. Again, the meat was the best part. I also added a beef bullion cube to the stew. To go with it, we had cottage cheese and biscuits. The stew smelled so good in the crockpot all day, so I was seriously disappointed after tasting. Maybe, better luck next time??
A very delicious recipe, I added one cup of frozen mixed vegetables to the recipe and use an 18 ounce of creamed mushroom soup. It was thick but very tasty and yielded enough for four good size portions. Would definitely make this one again. Served with a side of bread !
This stew is really good. I made it following the recipe and the only change I will make next time is to cut the tomato sauce in half and add some beef bouillon as we prefer a little more of a beef broth rather than tomato. Great easy recipe!
This was my very first time ever attempting to make homemade beef stew and it was so easy to prepare. My daughter (who is the pickiest of pickiest) loves it, as do I!
This stew was spot on. My husband told me this was the best stew he has ever had. The only changes I made was I added 16oz of tomato sauce. I also added 1 cup of beef broth. This will be a staple in my house!
I made this, but instead of cutting up the beef, I made it like a pot roast. When I was putting the ingredients into the crockpot I didn’t think the liquid would be enough. But it was. Came out fantastic.
Yes, I made it. Had to sub two items but it turned out well. thanks for the ideas, it was simple to make and it was very good.
Stuck to the recipe more or less. Used bottom round roast and added a Coleman’s beef bourguignon sachet and on low for 6 hrs in a slow crock pot………Perfect!
Added celery, beef stock, lots of onion & Worcestershire sauce
