It was ok. Little bland, and way too sweet. Could use more liquid to avoid the resulting pasty’ness.
Jacob Foley
I started this in the large cast iron pan and transferred it over to the stew pot after it was almost finished and added the beef broth and sour cream/ flour mixture
Nicole Johnson
delicious !
Stephanie Anderson
I’m so disappointed. I love lamb and all of these vegetables, but together they were not good. I followed the recipe exactly, and in the end, all I tasted was butternut squash.
Claudia Brandt
Solid, easy recipe. I was looking to turn a leftover lamb shoulder roast into stew. It had been roasted with inserted garlic cloves, rosemary, and shawarma seasoning. I didn’t have sweet potato, squash, or parsnip, so used peeled brown potatoes, and carrots. I also added a 1/4 cup of farrow, which takes about 25 minutes to cook. Instead of adding flour to thicken, I used the gravy I had previously made and served with the lamb. Served with egg noodles and naan for dipping. Family (including a picky 3 year old) ate it up.

I did it in the pressure cooker, it came out delicious
Matthew Perry
This one is a keeper! The only tweak I did was to cut the butternut squash amount in half. This is a great stew to make in the slow cooker. Just sear the lamb, add all ingredients and in 6 hours is ready to enjoy!

This turned out great. I will be preparing it again.
Laura Shah
This was delicious and tender. The only change I made was to mistakenly add carrot and to substitute acorn squash for butternut and a lamb bullion cube for the beef. Will definitely make again.

Amazing
Charles Gilbert
Great hearty stew for winter days. Easy to make and keeps well even frozen and re-thawed. Makes the house smell good, too. On my third batch, I added leeks and a small handful of carrots.
John Lee
Oh my! This is delicious. I did not have the squash or parsnips, so I used some red potatoes, carrots, and a turnip from my garden. I will make this again.

I used cabernet sauvignon as my red wine and it was DELICIOUS

super easy, filling comfort food. This is a new staple for our family.
Austin Frazier
I followed this recipe exactly as stated and did not like the result. It was extremely bland and I struggled to finish it.
Matthew Becker
Smells amazing! Sampled the flavor before it was finished and love the taste. The high note on this is, that we opened a great bottle of wine that will be served and enjoyed with the meal. Followed this recipe as close as I can. My definition of stew is; if it is fresh and you have it, put it in.
Barbara Reynolds
It was very tasty and the meat was tender. I did not use the sour cream and flour mixture and the broth was still fabulous.
Tracy Edwards
Made this recipe exactly as written, delicious!
Taylor Blackburn
This was AWESOME! I added parsnips, dill and parsley to the existing recipe, also used more garlic and bay leaf than it called for. Used light sour cream. My husband, who is a bit finicky, was crazy for this, and he doesn’t like stew as a rule! The lamb gave it such an excellent flavor!
Daniel Caldwell
It’s not that the stew wasn’t good, but I feel like grilled lamb was better. In my humble opinion, this was a great recipe, I added rosemary and a few other things for taste, but I think that for making lamb, anything but roast doesn’t bring its full potential. I’m sure someone can do it, and I can’t wait till they do, but I am not that chef.
Heather Adams
Wow. Just wow. Absolutely phenomenal! Like slap ya’ mama amazing! Just a few small adjustments below – How I did it: -SLOW COOKER!, 7 hours, add the sour cream mixture 10 minutes before serving -an entire cubed peeled medium sweet potato -an entire cubed small russet potato (I left the skin on) -carrots instead of parsnips (I did this because I’m feeding a toddler and didn’t want to take any chances) -two bay leaves -four garlic cloves -FRESH thyme makes all the difference -dash of red pepper flakes -extra salt to taste (I think I did a solid teaspoon more) The lamb is fall apart tender, out of this world. Grab yourself a hefty glass of full-bodied red and go to town!
