I love this - it's so simple to make and tastes great. I added some onion (sauteed in butter first), used diced tomatoes, and used fresh vegetables instead of frozen. The cabbage adds a nice flavor.

Oh, this has a wonderful taste to it...I did add some onion salt to the meat, but that is only personal preference. My hubby loved it!

This is delicious. I followed some of the other reviewers' suggestions. I browned the beef in a cast iron pot. I removed beef and set aside while I sauteed chopped onion and mushrooms. I added large carrots and celery pieces, chopped potatoes, frozen green beans, and frozen peas. (skipped the cabbage) I cut back broth to 32 oz. I added about 1 TB Worcestershire sauce also. I covered the pot and placed in 350 degree oven for at least an hour. I removed the celery and carrot pieces and pureed them in a blender. I mixed a little corn starch with the pureed veggies and returned to pot. This thickened up the stew a bit. My husband loved it.

I was looking for a recipe that used V8. I could not find it! I made an amazing stew years ago with v8. Anyway, I used three different recipes for this one. Sautéed onion with the floured meat, did not drain, added all the veggies, including celery, onion, garlic, carrots, added 29 fl. oz/ of V8. Plus about 6 knorr bullion cubes and water (8 cups) you need a big pot. Add water needed, or not. If it's too thin add a potato or two. It needs to cook for at least an hour, two would be better. They key is to sauté the beef in flour and simmer for hours. YUM

This is the best ever beef stew. I took out the cabbage and changed the mixed vegetables to one bag of frozen peas and one bag of frozen green beens (both 16 oz. each) and added three sliced fresh carrots.

This is an AWESOME recipe! I was in a tizzy over what to make for dinner one night, and came across this receipe. It's such a hearty, filling soup, and I added mushrooms & a few spices that made it extra tasty. So easy to make, as well! My husband absolutely ranted and raved about how much he liked this dish. A real winner!!

I didn't like it at all. My husband loves most beef stews and he said it was "okay" to make me feel better about all the time spent making it (exactly by the recipe). He took the leftovers to work for lunch, but he might have done that just to avoid wasting so much food. We won't be making this again.

This is a basic stew, so while not spectacular, it's a good starting point. I was a little skeptical of the 6 cups of beef broth (I like my stews thick), so I simply dissolved 2 beef bouillon cubes into one cup of water, and added that in place of all of the beef broth. I cooked this in my slow-cooker on high heat for 8 hours.

Really good! Don't be afraid to add your own little ingredients here and there. You can basically add and subtract what you want without ruining the stew. I cut back on the amount of beef broth by one can. It made my dish thicker. I omiited the cabbage completely. I added 3 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce and it gave it such a great flavor!!!! I added a little bit of garlic clove too. It enhances the stew without making it garlicky. You won't have any leftovers!

Really good stew. I have made it a few times adding somethings along the way. I add celery,crushed garlic and onion. It is good if you follow the recipe or when you add stuff.

Very runny. Almost a soup. I'd recommend either halving the water, doubling the cooking time or making this with dumplings.
