Would definitely make this part of my regular recipes....my husband loved it! Tripled the liquid, using both water and wine. Added potatoes and minced garlic. Also mushrooms the last 30 minutes. Yummy!

I read other reviews and added twice the liquid. Unless you like a strong tangy stew, I would not put so much wine in, actually I would possibly put in only half a cup. I replaced the Tyme with a 1/2 tsp of Allspice. I added about 6 to 7 small red potatoes cut in quarters and a few cherry tomatoes. Very easy recipie and would try this again with a few changes.

Very good flavor. Added an extra 1/2c wine and water, each. Though it didn't completely dry out, there was very little sauce. Added 8oz of sliced mushrooms and 2 potatoes. Used Pinot Noir wine in place of Burgundy. Will double (at least) the fluids next time, but great otherwise.

double the liquid and I found quartered small red potatoes to be excellent in it

Husband rated a 4, but I'd only give it a 1, so it got a 3. Will not make again. I prefer "traditional" stew better. Left an unpleasant taste in the mouth.

This came out great. My own touches included carmelizing half the onions, adding 3 large cloves of chopped garlic, using enough additional wine & water to cover the meat, and then thickening it towards the end with 2T flour, but those were only touches -- the basic recipe is superb.

This recipe was delicious and very filling. The meat and vegetables turned out to be extremely tender and yummy. I added a lot more water, so it turned out to be a beef soup rather than thick stew, which was fine - I loved it anyway. I also added 2 tbsp. minced garlic, and more servings of the vegetables. Kept it tightly covered in the oven for 2 1/2 hours....didn't need 4 hrs. A little Texas garlic toast was perfect to go with it. My boyfriend had 2 servings. I would've too if I wasn't so full after the first bowl.

Holy Cow! I don't think I am going to make Beef Stew in the crockpot again. Sooo tasty. I omitted the celery (hubby doesn't like it) doubled the water and wine (used Merlot)added 1 big can of stewed tomatoes, 4 cloves of garlic finely chopped, a half a bag of frozen green beans and 3 reg size potatoes cut up. Cooked it 2 1/2 hours then added some cold water/cornstarch mixture to thicken it up a little bit and cooked another 1/2 hour. FABULOUS!!
