Great recipe--got rave reviews from the family (even the kids ate it). Made a few noteworthy changes. First, we are vegetarians, so (gasp!) I subbed meatless beef strips for the real stuff, which worked surprisingly well. I used veggie broth instead of water. I didn't have time to cook in the slow cooker, so used the stove top. Stew was perfectly thick without adding additional water + cornstarch at the end. Totally delish and the house smelled amazing!

This can be made in a matter of minutes, and is beautiful and delicious.

Amazing! I followed the advice from others and added raisins, cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and a splash of rum. I only used 1 cup of brown sugar, and thought the sweetness level was perfect. I melted some vanilla bean ice cream to use as a sauce.
