I felt that the recipe didn't have enough liquids. I added two cups broth. I also reduced the stout to six ounces as I had some very strong tasting beer. The result was a very mild and delicious broth with just the right amount of stout taste. It was very good.

It was a great recipe but, the stout beer was way to stout for my family. Gave it a wangy taste that my kids didnt enjoy much at all.

Awesome recipe. This stew, for you Southerners, is fabulous with southern style cornbread. Also, reserve some of the broth in which to dip or crumble the cornbread for a late evening snack. The beer really makes the difference.

This was the first Irish Stew I had ever made and it turned out wonderfully! Very easy and boy did the house smell good. Thank you for such a good recipe.

I made this for a St. Patricks Day luncheon at work and only change I made was adding cabbage. I cooked it all night in my roaster and the next morning it was perfect! Everyone at work raved about this recipe and I went home for the first time (non dessert wise) with an empty pan! Thanks for sharing.

This recipe is the best! My family raves over it. Easy to make too, you just put it in the crock pot and forget about it. 5 stars!

This is an awesome recipe. Took it to a work function and had none left over! Only thing I added to the recipe was a few dashes of rosemary, thyme and pepper. Delicious!

Really enjoyed this stew as part of our St. Patrick's Day/Spring Break in the Mountains celebration! Just might consider making it a tradition!

I made this in the slow cooker on high for 6 hours and it was delicious. Easy and simple the way Irish stew should be - no need for fancy ingrediants. I follwed the recipe exactly except that I added 1 cup of fresh mushrooms when there was about 2 hours of cooking time left.

This is a family fave on cold winters nights! Add a loaf of freshly baked bread and the whole family is content.

A pretty standard stew, but the tomato paste and beer add a nice twang. Definitely needs salt and pepper. Served mine in "Bread bowls" from this site on St. Patty's day and everyone loved it. Bonus: There are five beers left over to help you wash it down. Since it's in the sauce, it pairs well.

I rated this 3 stars because we ate it but no one loved it. I followed the suggestion of Mayelle to give it more flavor, but 2 tablespoons of rosemary is way to much. Everything else blended nicely. If I made this again I would cut the rosemary down.

I made this recipe, using ingredients called for, except that I wasn't able to buy one bottle of Guinness. Had to buy the whole 6 pack. So I used a lager instead. It tasted horrible!!! I doctored it up with spices, even salsa. We did not care for this. I'll go back to making it with wine and red potatoes, spices. Major disappointment on St. Patrick's Day!!

All I can say is 'WOW'! I love being able to use my crockpot for times when we have potlucks at work. Today is St. Patrick's Day and another gal in the office always makes a fabulous corned beef with cabbage, potatoes & carrots - so, I always try to find something that fits the theme while being different. This was it - and, is it ever good! With all the food we had, I saw people going back for seconds and, to me, that's the ultimate compliment! The only thing I'll add next time is a touch of salt. Otherwise, it's very good!

This stew is very good! My family loved it! The Irish beer added great flavor, as did the tomato paste. My only problem with this stew is the high cal and fat. It's a very heavy stew and you can feel those 26.6 g of fat after eating it. But it is worth the taste!

We have just finished this stew, I was going to take a picture but it didn't last long enough for that! I took other reviewers advice and added spices. I added about two tablespoons of rosemary, a tsp of garlic, tsp of parsley, salt and pepper, a teeeny sprinkle of thyme and a half teaspoon of italian seasoning.Thank you for the recipe :) Oh also...I kinda started it wrong. I cooked the meat as said, and then I put it in water with four oxo cubes...then let it all soak for about an hr on low heat since I was cooking it on the stove. then I added my potatoes I used baby new potatoes so I didn't have to peel (ha!) then I mixed the tomato paste with some water and another oxo cube, then added it to the stew then finally added the can of beer. Will defo...DEFO be making this again. Thank you again!
