This is very good and easy. The only things I changed were adding one can of beef broth, and adding my vegetables (I only used potatos) at the start because they are still a little crunchy after 2 hours. This stew is very filling and it's one of our favorite meals.

This recipe is great, although I made a few changes. I use oregano instead of basil and use carrots and celery in place of potatoes. I serve the stew over garlic mashed potatoes and my family goes crazy for it!

For me, it took about 2 1/2 hours for the beef to be really tender. I added tomato juice when it got dry. Made as written, it was kinda bland - ended up adding garlic, onion powder, and a ton more ground pepper. Some red wine would definitely have been a nice addition. This was ok but I have better stew recipes. Thanks anyway!

I didn't use this recipe exactly, but since I don't have a slow cooker, I needed something I could make in the oven in a regular pot. I browned and seasoned the meat first (without adding the flour), then I added a bag of already-prepared stew veggies to the meat in the pot, water, beef bullion cubes, beef stew seasoning mix, and a can of crushed tomatoes and cooked it on 350 for 1 hr. It was quick to prepare that way and tastes great! :-)

I just made this tonight. I added a bit of other spices like garlic powder and kørvel (no idea what it is in english). The tomatoe soup was a bit too sweet for me so I think I'll add less than a can next time I make this. It was pretty good though and my husband enjoyed eating it with rolls. We also added corn but to our own bowls. Cooked corn of course ;) we liked the crunch it gave. I'll be making this in the future again but I think I'll make some changes later on. Oh and I also added a vegetable bullion cube to the water and added that. And I definitly added more water toward the middle of cooking. I don't like it being way too thick. ;) thanks for the recipe

I made this primarily for my husband who loves dishes like this. I bought already-cubed stewing beef, rather than a roast, and sauteed it in EVOO. Added 1/4+ tsp garlic powder to the sauce; used low-sodium tomato soup, & subbed low-sodium beef broth and 1/4c dry red wine for the water, adding in an extra 1/2-3/4c broth to avoid the dryness problem that some reviewers commented on; also cut my potatoes in larger chunks so they wouldn't get soggy and soak up more of the liquid. Served with homemade sourdough French bread. Thank you for sharing your recipe, Ruth!

I loved this stew! I am going to make it again today, but double it and add a can of corn. The 1st time I made it - i should have added some water because the meat and veggies absorbed most of the tomato soup. I was amazed at how great this tasted using a can of tomato soup!

This is my second time to make this recipe. I love it because it is absolutely easy, delicious and hearty. The exception I made was I did as another poster did and added all my vegetables at the beginning. Also cooked it in a slow oven so all the flavor good savor. The smell was just awesome!

This was great! So easy and very simple ingredients. I used low sodium tomato soup and then added some cajun seasoning in with the spices: I also added more water when I added the vegetables. My husband loved it (and he's a great cook!). I will be making this often! Thanks for sharing!

My 13 year old son has been bugging me for stew and my Mom never made a really good one. I found this recipe and really had just about all the ingredients at home! My son LOVED it! Instead of carrots, I substituted a bag of organic veggies (peas, carrots and corn). I thought this was super easy to make and will do so again!

This was wonderful!! I did make a few very small changes. First I doubled everything. After browning the meat I added about 3/4 cup red wine to the pan and let it simmer about 5 minutes. I added a clove of garlic to the soup mix as well as a little boulion and stired the mixture a couple times. Like suggested I also added corn and a little more water when I added the rest of the veggies. This will be a family favorite for years to come.

Good recipe. I doubled it, used stew meat and after browning the meat I threw everything in the pot and baked for two hours - it was simpler and tasted great.

This was SO delicious!! My husband and I loved it and we think it was even more tasty the next day. I doubled the recipe and added the following modifications: 1/4 t garlic powder and 1 smashed beef bouillon to the meat seasoning. I also took a suggestion from another review and after one hour of baking, I added 1/2 cup of water mixed with one additional beef bouillon and a can of drained corn. Mmmm. This was really good!

Delicious! I doubled the recipe, mainly the meat & veggies, because I am feeding a family of 5. I did only have 1 can of tomato soup. After the first hour of cooking the meat I added extra water & on the stove top I boiled about 1/2 c water with 2 Beef Bouillon cubes and added this to the rest of the recipe. I also like corn so I added a can of corn, drained. I cooked mine longer than recipe says because I didn't have my stew meat & veggies cut up very small. Add cornbread & it was a delicious filling meal for a cold night!
