Just made this two days ago, and this was a very tasty homemade beef stew. I followed the recipe, and beef stew was even tastier the following day! i guess all the flavors melded even more. It really is the perfect thing to eat on a cold day (also one serving kept me full for about 5 hours). I plan on making this again this weekend.
Some reviewers said it was spicy, but I didn’t detect any spiciness at all. In fact, I’d like a little kick to it…. what should I add if I wanted to make this spicier? Thanks!!
I made this today and my husband told me, “This is, hands down, the best beef stew I’ve ever had!” I must say, I agree with him! Can’t wait to share this with my family. Thank you for this recipe!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
YAY Kristen! Thanks for the sweet comment 🙂
Where can I get the nutritional info on this recipe? My doctor has me on a heart diet that is calorie counted so I need specifics on crock pot meals such as protein,carbs,sodium, calories,fats,etc.
Does it make a difference in the tenderness of the meat if you cook it on high 6-7 or on low 10 hours? I normally like to cook it on low but can’t wait 10 hours for it to cook? trying it today – getting a blizzard in the Eastern USA…
I made this today and didn’t have the time to cook it in the crockpot, so I browned the meat first, then added all of the other ingredients, except the peas and carrots to an 8 quart pot and simmered it for several hours, then added the carrots and peas, simmered for a while longer and the meat was extremely tender. I recommend you have some extra beef broth on hand just in case.
I made this for my family today, tweaking it here and there for our taste and they loved it. It was hardy and just what was needed on a chilly day. Thanks for sharing.
