I found this recipe because I was looking for one that didn’t have canned cream of something soup. I have it cooking right now! Thank so much! I usually read the comments before I start a new recipe. For those saying that this was spicy, my bet is on the garlic. Garlic is spicier than most people realize. If you substitute powdered garlic for fresh, it will make it even spicier. It could be anything, but that was just my thought! Thanks again for a great recipe!
In the past I have always dredged and browned the meat first. Found your recipe and decided to try it out. SO EASY! So easy I had my doubts. It was absolutely delicious! I added barley in the last hour and served it with a crusty loaf. Cheers!
I’ve never made beef stew before. ….so I Googled it and found this recipe. …it seemed so easy and looked so delicious. …so I gave it a try….and I’m so glad I did…..I’ve made it several times already because it is so delicious ……and it has the perfect name…..because it is the best beef stew I’ve ever had……it was so delicious that I’ve give the website to so many of my friends…..thank you so much
I love this recipe. So easy, basic, and flavorful. I didn’t get it in the slow cooker early enough but it was delicious and done perfectly in about an hour and a half on the stovetop. Meat wasn’t as tender but still yummy!
My family loved this recipe. The only thing i added was some green beans as well as the rest of the vegetables. Will definitely make it again.
