This recipe is great. I don't understand the people who said it was bland. I made it more or less as indicated, and we all loved it. I didn't have any onions, so I left them out. No harm, it was fine. I added more red wine to give it a little deeper flavor. Other than that, only flavoring was salt, pepper and the onion soup mix. Also loved it in the slow cooker. No worries about leaving a pot on the stove all day! Definitely recommend this beef stew recipe.
