Very easy to make. I added two small diced potatoes, 2 carrots and 2 celery sticks (make sure you leave in the crock pot long enough for the vegetables to thoroughly cook 9-11 hours on low or so). I also added about 3/4 cup red wine instead if 1/2 cup, and some onion soup mix. Will be making again! Thank you for the recipe.

I used this as the base to make "beef manhattans". I served it over the top of thick sliced bread topped with garlic mashed potatoes. My additions were: another can of cream of mushroom soup (I used the 15 oz. sizes), a whole cup of merlot (rather than 1/2 cup), 1 pkg. of onion soup mix along with the french onion soup, 2 tsp. of kitchen browning sauce and 1/2 tsp. of seasoned salt & coarse ground black pepper. Add some fresh mushrooms the last 30 minutes if you are not using the canned type. Garnish with fresh parsley. This was easy and delicious! Thanks for sharing!

FABULOUS!! I did make a few changes. I did not use the red wine but added: carrots, potatos (to make it a more hearty meal), one can of garlic and oil diced tomoatos, and 12 oz of beef broth. My husband (who is a very picky eater) keeps begging me to make more. Even my 3 and 2 year old kids loved this stew. Great for those cold cold days.

It is great how easy this recipe is, but for me and my family, even with added spices, we found it to be a bit bland. Thank you for posting yur recipe Cheryl.

I make this all the time, and my kids and husband both like it (as do I). Like others, I add carrots and potatoes to make it a complete crockpot meal. I also add a packet of beefy onion soup, and leave out the wine.

Just what I was looking for... a super easy dish to throw in the crockpot. I used a Cabernet Sauvignon, added parsley, rosemary, a pinch of thyme, two cloves of garlic, 1/2 lb. baby carrots and a bag of fresh crimini mushrooms towards the end. We had this with buttered egg noodles. I might make it again. Thanks for the post, Cheryl.

This had good flavor. I didn't like the texture of the meat, it wasn't tender but more stringy. Could have just been the quality of the meat.

I added a can of sliced carrots & a can of diced potatoes to add some veggies for my 1 yr old. Everyone loved it. I even got rave reviews from my mother & sister (both excellent cooks themselves). I will definately be making this again.

This recipe was very tasty (even my picky hubby liked it)! I used cream of potato instead of mushroom, and browned the meat before cooking as suggested by a few others. Also, I added potatoes and veggies we like. I cooked on high for about 6 hours, and it was perfect, no need to thicken at all.

I give it 2 stars for pure simplicity. The end result was very soupy and bland. I added about 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with equal parts water during the last hour in an attempt to thicken it. Still very runny. Needed LOTS of salt and pepper. I will make it again but will add some spices to it at the beginning and half the liquid.

I made this with sliced sirlion steak and it was excellent. I didn't have french onion soup or mushrooms, so I doubled the COM soup and added reconstituted dried onions. To speed it up I cooked it on the stove for about an hour. Mixed in some sour cream and noodles and served it with two other recipes from this site: Honey Ginger Carrots and some warm buttered Butternut Squash Bread that I had in the freezer.

This was a nice alternative to the way I usually do stew meat or a roast in the crock-pot. The only thing I might have done differently would be to add some carrots. I did thicken it up at the end with a little cornstarch. Very good.

wow! what an easy delicious meal!! i modified it a bit based on other recommendations. i dredged the beef in flour first and seared it in a pan with a tablespoon of oil (to keep the juices in.) i didn't have any cream of mushroom soup so i used cream of potato. i also added a few cups of frozen roasted potatoes during the last hour of cooking. this was such a nice meal to come home from work to. my boyfriend loved it!

The name is a little misleading. This really comes out more as a stroganoff than a stew. I double all but the "dry French Onion Soup Mix" and meat. Otherwise, the meat is overwhelming and there isn't enough sauce for your noodles.

This dish was very easy to make and delicious. I added potatoes, peas, onions, carrotts and used bamboo mushrooms as opposed to regular mushrooms. The added ingredients really made it heartier. I suggest adding salt to the cooker.
