This was absolutely AMAZING!!! I cut the recipe in half and omitted the mushrooms as I can't stand them. Also I was short on time so put it on High for 4 hours then Low for 1 hour. The only way I can explain how fabulous this was is by giving it 5 stars! As for making changes and short cuts like some reviewers did, WHY?? That's what makes this recipe so special and good!

I can see why your son would call this world famous! My son loved it too! We ate it two nights in a row with homemade biscuits. I added celery and peas and left out the mushrooms, but otherwise follwed the recipe. My husband is usually the cook in the house, but I was able to get this recipe together (with a newborn in the house!) and it turned out great!

Very good stew. I followed the directions to a T, except I used a little less onion and chopped it in smaller pieces. I also threw in a little chopped celery just so I could use it up. I didn't have any red wine so I used cooking sherry. The preliminary work (i.e. you don't just toss everything in the crockpot) is worth it. This stew has more flavor than my usual recipe, but I think it could use a little more, not sure what though. My husband LOVED it, said it was the best meal he's had all year. I found myself very thirsty afterwards, perhaps from all the onion soup mix?

I used a can of french onion soup and a can of mushroom soup. Didn't use boiling water and dry soup mix.

Wow. This is an absolutely amazing Beef Stew. Highly recommend it especially for those cold days. I added kidney beans for even more flavor.

Stick to your ribs kinda meal! I used leftover red wine I had in my refrigerator. Next time I probably will use some beef stock in place of some of the water. The recipie wasn't quite salty enough for me. Other than that, it was a huge hit with my husband and me!

I made this two weeks ago and it is awesome! If you would rather not use the burgundy wine, I looked up substitutions and you can use red wine vinegar instead, which is what I did. Also, it does indeed make a lot, so you want to make sure your crock pot can hold every bit of 5 quarts. Mine is a 5.5 quart which allowed me plenty of room. I followed the recipe as is, except I used 2 onions instead of three, and I used sliced fresh mushrooms instead of the button ones. Gooood Stuff!!!

Very good! I only browned the stew meat and put the veggies in raw (without sauteing). I also didn't use mushrooms. Otherwise, followed the directions. I had to add about 2 more cups of homemade beef broth to bring it to the consistancy we like. I used a Shiraz for the wine, we like that flavor and it was perfect. I have tons of leftovers so I added a can of tomatoes, can of corn and a can of peas to the crockpot and will cook for a couple more hours. That's the way my hubby prefers.

Altho I don't eat beef, I always do taste and I must say I totally agree with all of the rave reviews. This was by far the best beef stew recipe I've ever used. The only addition I made was to use a can of tomato paste which eliminated the need to thicken with the cornstarch. Hearty, comforting and so delicious. Thank you Heather!!

Followed this recipe almost exactly and it was perfect. Doubled the garlic and left out the mushrooms. Tasted like something my Mom would make. Hearty and full flavored. I need to find a way to not use Lipton soup mixes because they have MSG.

Good recipe! The tips with the flour and corn starch definitely helped make it thick and substantial. I used homemade beef stock that I had frozen instead of the water and onion soup mix. I chopped my onions and mushrooms into smaller pieces and added more wine than was called for. I added some greens that I had on hand, as well as a bay leaf. All in all it was hearty, healthy, tasty meal!

Great recipe--got rave reviews from the family (even the kids ate it). Made a few noteworthy changes. First, we are vegetarians, so (gasp!) I subbed meatless beef strips for the real stuff, which worked surprisingly well. I used veggie broth instead of water. I didn't have time to cook in the slow cooker, so used the stove top. Stew was perfectly thick without adding additional water + cornstarch at the end. Totally delish and the house smelled amazing!
