Wow. I cooked exactly as the recipe stated, even though I had to hunt through Krogers to find instant tapioca. I was a bit skeptical about the sugar as an ingredient, but the taste and texture of the final product was wonderful. Rave reviews from all diners -- they liked the unique qualities that come from baking. I think the the carrots had a particularly good flavor, a sweetness that I haven't tasted in a beef stew before. I'm sure the suggested modifications all add interesting aspects to this recipe, but try it at least once just as it is presented. It's great.

I used this recipe and added some majoram, rosemaryand thyme(1/8tsp. each) I also started it with 3 slices of bacon and crumbled them in. It was the best stew i think I have ever made.

This is my favorite beef stew recipe. The only thing I change is I substitute the water with a can of beef broth and I only cook it for 1 1/2 hours. I prefer this method over cooking in the crock pot. Thanks for the great dinner!

added plain flour instead of tapioca, and dried herbs for seasoning. Wonderfully tender, lovely gravy. Good substitute for when you don't own a slow cooker.

I love this recipe because it is perfect for those days when you get a late start and can't use the crock pot. Add as much salt as specified.

Amazing - everyone took seconds! I dredged the meat in flour as suggested and also used cornstarch instead of tapioca. Instead of heating up the oven, I cooked it in the slow cooker on low for about 6 1/2 hours. This was delicious and I will definitely make it again!

ok, this is a tough one. What I ended up with tasted GREAT, but I modified it so much it ended up being entirely different. I like reading the modifications others post in their reviews so here is my contribution: I also used cornstarch instead of tapioca and only a dash or two of sugar. I used low-sodium beef broth in place of water and boullion. I coated meat with flour salt and pepper mixture and pan seared first. I did not add bread at all. I also added much more salt and pepper and tomato paste in the end because it was a little on the bland side. Oh and I put in a little minced garlic-you can NEVER go wrong with garlic in my opinion!

Bottom line: great recipe...but, I would omit the salt altogether because it's ungodly for my taste! Otherwise, we will definitely be enjoying this recipe for a long time...thanks!

So good! I also coated the meet in flour & seasoning before browning it. The only problem I had with the recipe was that there wasn't enough liquid. I don't know what I did wrong, but the flavor was outstanding!

I liked this a lot. It had good flavor. I didn't add the tapioca, but the cornstarch with water mixture. I thought that this was a little sweet, but still delicious.

Followed the recipe exactly & turned out to be a weirdly sweet tasting stew :( I don't think instant tapioca is a good blend for stew and the bread chunks ended up very soggy.

This recipe is extremely easy to make. Once you cut up the ingedients you just put it in the oven and two hours later, beef stew! I used beef stock instead of water and corn starch instead of tapioca. I also put in some red pepper flakes to give it a kick. Really tasty, can't wait for the leftovers!

Made this for lunch today, I got up,chopped the veggies up,only changes were that I made,it called for 4 carrots only had two and half a bag of shredded and added on the liquid! it needed way more liquid than called for but you know what? I popped it in the oven at 7:30,I left for church about 10 until 10, left my mother in charge, she had to put it in the slow cooker and it finally got done, it was a good recipe for the most part but I'm thinking I'm going back to a basic, old fashioned recipe.

I always double the recipe and bake it in my biggest lasagna pan. Family loves it. Great for winter. I add more carrots and cut the beef in bigger chunks. It's my permanent beef stew recipe.
