I thought that this was an excellent stew,very tasty. I did not like the dumplings, they fell apart. I should have done as I usually do and make my own dumplings from scratch. I will definitely make this stew again, with my own dumplings

I have to agree with others, that this recipe is much to dry...needs at least 2 more cups of liquid to make gravy. Good flavor over all. Will probably try again.

This stew was excellent with a few changes. There isn't nearly enough liquid in this recipe as written. I used two 14 oz. cans of beef broth and about 1 cup of water. I also added extra beef granules for flavor. I left out the mushrooms and they weren't missed. I browned the meat, onions and garlic all at the same time. I used 1 tsp. season salt instead of plain salt and added 3 bay leaves. I let it simmer about 30 minutes after adding the veggies, then another 20 with the dumplings. I used my own dumpling recipe instead of the Bisquick one. This was a delicious meal for a cold winter night. Very tasty and comforting.

Very good overall. I did add a package of McCormick Beef Stew Seasoning Mix (powder) to give it more flavor. Will definitely make again.

This recipe is very good. The only thing that didn't make sense was only using 2 cups of water. I can't believe that is the correct amount. It's way too little, you'd never get 5 servings of stew out of that. I ended up using 4 cups, and probably could have used more.

This was pretty easy and fast to put together. I did add 2 teaspoons of beef soup base to the water for a little added flavor. All in all - a hot and satisfying meal on this COLD January day.
