This was great but I recommend doubling the quantity to feed 6 of us!

Oh my gosh! This is the BEST beef stew I have ever made. I was one recipe away from never making beef stew again and I decided to try this one! I finally found a recipe I love! The only thing I did different was no rosemary (out) and no potatoes (out of these too!), but I didn't add anything or do anything else different. Absolutely fabulous! Thank you!

Yummy and easy. Only thing I didn't differently was add a can of vegetable stock instead of water at the end. I also eyeballed the herbs and it was perfect. Can't wait to make again.

This left me a little flat. Didn't have that special flavor I was looking for.

Add me to the list of liking this recipe. Didn't change a thing.

This was probably the best beef stew I've made in a while if not ever. Both my husband and I enjoyed it but, as a previous reviewer said, I don't think this recipe will feed 6 people. I will definately make this again but next time I'll add mushrooms and a few more vegetables. Also, a couple of Tbsps of quick-cooking tapioca will thicken the sauce while it cooks (a tip I learned from the booklet that came with my crock pot).

I took a risk making this recipe for the first time for a lunch party. It was an incredible success with everyone. Not a drop left. I seasoned to taste with salt and added some sausage. Can I say scrumptious?

This was not a killer recipe. The wine was too strong and the souce was super thin. My kids refused to eat it. I am sure that it has a taste that some people love but we won't make it again.

Very good, but the spices were very overpowering. I won't add nearly as much next time. Also, I thickened it during the last few minutes with a little bit of cornstarch and cold water. Overall, it's a great crockpot recipe!

Thanks for a simple and delicious recipe. My family didn't find the rosemary and thyme overpowering at all. I couldn't use the onion due to allergies, but the stew was very flavorful without it. I took the suggestions of others and doubled the recipe, this fed our family of four comfortably with a little left over for lunch the following day. As with all soups and stews it was even better the second day. I added a cup and a half of frozen peas, preheated in the microwave, and used prepared bouillon instead of a cube and water. As others suggested, it was more a soup than a stew so I also thickened it during the last few minutes of cooking. I will definitely make this again.

I love this stew, so does my husband. He ask for it every time I ask what he wants for dinner.

This was mighty good, instead of wine I used beef stock because that is what I had on hand. This was so good, that even my son who hates onions ate it and had seconds. I did however double the recipe. I fed four with just enough left for one serving for lunch the next day. For lunch I served it over rice, and it was still delicious.

Loved it! I'm pretty sure you need to double the recipe though. The way it is written will not feed six.

I made this tonight and it was really good. I took the advice of the reviewer below and added flour towards the end to make it thicker. I agree with a different reviewer in cutting back on the spices, they were a bit overpowering. Other than that, my husband and I loved and I will be making this again!

Highly recommended. Delicious and easy. I work full time and am always looking for good slow cooker recipes. The meat was so tender and even my son asked for seconds. I can't get him to eat much else but bologna these days so you can imagine I was very happy about that. My husband enjoyed it enought to as kme to "please" make it again. The only think I changed was I added my version of dumplings at the end. Steaming them for 20 minutes. For me it really added to the dish.

I made this recipe yesterday, starting it before work and coming home to the most wonderful aroma. (I just love slow cookers!). I used a homeade vegetable stock I had on hand instead of boullion and adjusted the water accordingly. I too did not change anything else because it looked good to me on paper and I'm happy to report that it turned just wonderful. The meat was so tender and the flavor was great. For my own preference I took a bit of liquid out just before serving and whisked in a bit of flour till it was smooth and then poured it back into the cooker for about 20 minutes to thicken is up a bit. I prefer a thicker "stew". This was so tasty and just what I needed after a long day. I highly recommend :-)

My husband and his mom loved this recipe. We followed the directions to a T. My husband generally doesn't eat red meat so I was very happy he enjoyed this. I personally like a lot of flavors so I was happy with the seasoning and probably won't change that. To the reviewer below though, it's red wine, not red wine vinegar. That probably would taste really bad in a slow cooker. Great recipe overall. Thank you
