I made a double batch of this for a group of 10 adults and 1 child. Doubled it barely fit in my crock pot but it just did. And it was amazing! And huge hit, served with a salad and yummy buns. Thanks for the easy recipe!
I made this recipe just as written and it is perfect. Just what you want from stew. Hearty, flavorful, tender meat and veggies. Paired it with buttered homemade bread and a garden salad. The whole fam raved. If you are sensitive to pepper you will want to cut it by half. I love pepper so it was just right for me.
Great recipe…thank you. Chuck roast was on sale so I used two pounds of that, browning it beforehand. I had no tomato paste so used a spicy Classico brand spaghetti sauce, a bit more garlic and 2/3 the beef broth because it’s all I had, then added a bit of water to make up the difference (limited income here–I use what I’ve got on hand). I left out the corn because I’m not a fan, but added some fresh garden beans and frozen broccoli along with the frozen peas for the finish. It’s a rainy day in Oregon and this is a great sunshine recipe.
excellant stew, made it today. By far one of the best stewsI’ve have. The only thing I did wrong was I put the peas and corn from the start. No problems with them. This stew is gooooood.
Going to try this recipe but after reading a few comments about it being a bit spicy and worried it might be to spicy for my kids. I’m going to use a little less garlic. Garlic can have a little kick to it. Found this out when I followed directions on a different recipe. I tried the same recipe a second time with less garlic and that seemed to lessen to kick. I will repost my findings after doing this.
