I made the double recipe, cooked one and froze the other. Both pots were delish! Would have liked to had left-overs the day after but unfortunately, too many people tasted it and that was it.

Best beef stew I ever had. Never thought to put tomatoes in with the other ingredients when making stew. Used regular paprika and added more potatoes but all the flavors were wonderful. Thanks for a great recipe!

I really enjoyed this stew. Even my little girl gobbled it up without complaining (this is an amazing feat). I tripled the recipe and used red wine instead, plus threw in some Italian seasoning. When I cooked the meat I used all the flour mixture and that helped thicken the stew up a bit. The only thing was that it was time consuming to prepare the stew. It worked great for a Saturday night dinner, but to do it before work on a weekday would require a very early morning. All in all...yum!

De-glazed the pan used to cook the beef and onion (I left out the mushrooms) and poured all the liquid into the crock pot. As we're a small family, I froze half of it to use at another day, as the chef suggested! I also added a potato and 1 carrot and 1 stalk celery. I used Hungarian Paprika, as well. This will now be the Beef Stew recipe we will use! NO leftovers :)

mixed thoughts. I was very excited to have a bowl and discovered that i didn't think it was that great. Kinda bland. I ended up adding butter, hot sauce and salt to my little bowl. We ate it for dinner the next night. It tasted great on the second day, totally different stew. I didn't add anything to it the next day because it tasted great. My husband thinks this is a 3 star. I think 4. might not be making again though. disclaimer, I had no smoked paprika so I used regular.. i wonder if that makes the difference??

I really love this stew, But I made a few changes, I added about 10 ounces of beef gravy in place of stock, added a bay leaf and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper, and some mini corn and used regular paparika

This was delicious! We skipped the dried onion soup and just added our own spices (marjoram, basil, rosemary, garlic & smoked paprika).

This was great. I did use some of the beef broth to deglaze my frying pan. Maybe that evaporated enough to make a difference. I also tilted the lid for the last 2 hours. All together it wasn't too watery. I added salt at the table, others didn't. Aside from that it was great! Thank you!

Major Hit!! Few alterations include: In the seasoned flour, we just used 2 tsp homemade essence (same recipe you can buy @ the store, except the smoked paprika, mine has the smoked paprika), which already has the paprika, pepper salt, Ect. (love the smoked paprika) Didn't have fresh mushrooms, so used pkg onion mushroom soup mix instead of just onion soup mix. For veggies I used about 5 potatoes, 5 carrots and a bag of mixed veggies I had on hand. Didn't have any wine, so just left that out. We used bullion to made 4 cups broth, one can of roasted diced tomatoes & did not use cornstarch, but saved the excess flour from the meat & added it about a couple hours in. Was a major hit w/ the entire family (even the 1 year absolutely loved it), hubby said was the best beef stew he'd ever had. Will definitely be using this recipe again!!
