Good for rotation. I don't really like the texture of the potatoes cooked in the crock pot. Next time I will boil them first.

The whole family liked this but wasn't wow'd. I added 1/2 cup red wine as suggested. I also added a bit of italian seasoning. Still didn't seem seasoned enough. I think that 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp of worcestershire is not enough salt for 2 lbs of meat and vegetables.

Sorry, not for me. It cooked to long and I didn't like the flavor of the bay leaf in it.It was actually sort of gross.

What I liked best about this recipe is that it's simple. Just throw everything into the slow cooker and let it do its thing. I did not follow the more advanced recipe, and it came out excellent. Made a few tiny changes, I used 2 cups of beef broth, and one packet of McCormick's Slow Cooker Hearty Beef Stew seasoning instead of having to add all the individual spices. Left out the bay leaf. Towards the end of cooking, I stirred in 1/4 cup of garlic mashed potato flakes, which helped thicken the sauce and give it a "kick." Delicious, will make again.

i've been wanting to make a classic beef stew like my mom made when i was a kid and this recipe was perfect! i only made a few small changes: i added only 2 potatoes and 2 carrots and left out the celery. i also added 1 tsp of allspice. next time, i might go heavier on the spices, because i like lots of flavor, otherwise, the recipe comes out perfectly as written. i will definitely be making this again!

LOVE THIS RECIPE! As is...it is so good. With modifications suggested, it tasted too rich too me...much like the canned variety. Will stick to the original recipe!

Very tasty! As recommended I added 1/2 cup of red wine and that was a great idea, it helped with the thickness. Thank you!

Turned out excellent, got lots of good reviews. Put meat in slow cooker, sprinkled flour, seasoned salt, pepper on it, mixed it up. Added vegetables (including frozen corn) and a packet of beef stew seasoning. 3 cups of beef stock 1/2 cup red wine, 1T worcesershire. About 9 to 9.5 hrs on low and it was chow time, served with thick slices of crusty bread.

My family loves this! I brown the meat in a skillet first then pour the meat and the juice in the pot. I also use more beef broth. It's great!

this was a good basic stew recipe. great on its own or used as a foundation for getting creative! try adding sweet potatoes and chopped oranges for a great fall spin on a classic.

Really good as is...did not find bland at all like previous reviews. I doubled the recipe and it worked great, but next time I would definitely not use as much pepper. AND...I stuck to one onion. I think 2 would be too overpowering.

What an easy, delicious recipe! I made it as written except instead of 3 diced potatoes I used a pound and a half of baby red potatoes rinsed and cut in half, and instead of one chopped onion I used six little boiler onions skinned and cut in half. I also increased the broth to 2 cups (1 14.5 oz can).

My husband really enjoyed this dish. I added a little extra liquid and spices because my crock pot is a very large one and I didn't want things to burn. I let this cook for 6 hours on low (my pot is also very powerful!) and then I added the flour when I got home from work (still 1/4 cup even though I added more liquid). and it turned out very well! My husband said it's worthy to be made again.

This turned out great! I followed the recipe pretty closely (I like a little more vegetables) and it was well seasoned and very tasty! I don't have a slow cooker, so I cooked it for about an hour and a half on the stovetop. It was fantastic! This was my first time making beef stew, and I was very impressed with the results. I will be making this again!
