Husband and youngest son loved this recipe! Goes great with cornbread :)I may leave the potatoes out the next time though.

I couldn't remember the name of this recipe and have been looking for it since I made it a year ago. My husband loved it and so did I. It makes great left overs and is so simple. Goes great with some corn bread.

This is very good & hearty. Very thick. I added shredded cheese to my bowl. It would definitely be fine with a little less meat.

I just made this today; I knew we were going to have a busy day, so I planned ahead and threw it in the crockpot this morning. I followed someone else's suggestion, and browned the stew beef a bit with some seasonings and onions before I put it in the crockpot. I cut the potatoes into small cubes since we have little ones, and used regular baked beans. Left it on low for 8 hours-- I was concerned it wouldn't be juicy enough, but it was just perfect! My two little girls (2 and 3) ate their entire bowlful, and my husband had 2 big bowls. I served it with bbq sauce on the side, and a loaf of hot, fresh bread. Perfect meal for a winter evening!

This turned out VERY smokey flavored. I would use a can of regular baked beans and one smoked next time.

I prepared this exactly as written, using bar-b-qued baked beans, and it was delicious. Very very easy to prepare.

ive cooked this a few times and allways goes down so well even my daughter who normally won't eat beef loves it so well done and thanks

I tried this because it sounded super simple, and I had everything I needed on hand. My brother was coming to visit and this was right up his alley! I made it exactly as it was written, and it was delicious! There was enough "juice" from the beans (I was expecting to have to add more bbq sauce, or broth or something), and the meat was so tender. I did 5 hours on high, and all was done perfectly. My brother and son both had seconds, and what was left was gone before bedtime. Will definitely make this again, maybe do a little tweaking this time. Yummy!

This turned out great! I used Bush's baked beans, added some left-over garbanzo beans, carrots and some hot sauce. Then, served it in a sourdough bread bowl. YUM!! It was a hit with my hubby too. Great recipe!

My family of 4 really liked this, and I do have one truly picky eater. It's well named - it's kind of like a trip down the serving line of your favorite bbq joint. You can add bbq sauce and extra veggies if you like, the recipe is very easy to personalize. But my family liked it just as written. I did not pre-brown anything and it came out of the crock pot just great. It seemed like a offbeat twist on bbq, familiar flavors but a different presentation - and no grill to heat or prep to do at the end of a long day. I'll definitely make it again.

You really need to take the time to season the meat and brown it prior to adding to the slow cooker, otherwise it ends up bland and mushy tasting. I used 2 lbs of chuck roast cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder and red pepper flake. I browned the meat in 1 tablespoon of oil before adding to the slow cooker. After I browned the meat, I sauted the onion along with 2 cloves of garlic until lightly golden. Doing this may take a little bit of time, but it does wonders to add flavor to the final stew. Also, I needed to add a 16 oz bottle of barbecue sauce to ensure there was enough sauce. I thinned it with a 1/2 cup of beef stock. Garnished the stew with cheddard cheese and served over biscuits.

Everyone loves this recipe..even my daughter's picky boyfriend. I made a few additions. I added extra onions and a can of diced tomatos. Try the Busch's baked beans Bold and Spicy blend. They have cilantro, which really adds some flavor! A great recipe!!!!

This was OK, but I probably won't be making it again. I did add barbecue sauce as other reviewers suggested, and used regular baked beans. The flavor of the beans came through too strongly for my husband and 4 year old daughter, but older daughter liked it.

We thought this was pretty good. Very high protein with all the meat and beans and especially easy to make too. I do wish I'd made a vegetable side to go with it though. Just the stew with corn muffins seemed like too much meat. I would make this again.

I thought this was great! I added a tablespoon of brown sugar and some corn and served it over rice (not that I needed any more starch), but it was so hearty and welcoming on a cool winter evening. Will definitely add to my list of faves!

The flavor was excellent, although a little thicker than I would want. the second time I made this I browned my steak first, then made a gravy out of the pan drippings and added it to the slow cooker. It was amazing! Thanks.
