This was a great recipe! Although I did make several changes. The people I cook for are not very fond of chunky, meaty thick stew. So because I doubled the recipe, it called for 5 1/2 lbs of beef so instead, I used 3 lbs of fround beef and doubled the liquid using vegetable broth. I also added a few stalks of celery and some carrots. The end result was a thinner ( but not very thin) soup/stew. Not as thick and chunky as a stew but still wonderful! Thanks for thr great recipe!

This was a great base recipe. I changed it a bit to fit our family's taste. I omitted one onion and added two carrots, thinly sliced and three stalks of celery including leaves, also thinly sliced to the sauteing onions. I also added a teaspoon of garlic powder along with the sage and thyme. I also added a can of beef broth and an additional can of kidney beans. This turned out great and my husband and younger brother agreed that it was very filling and delicious.
