This is not a beef stew It's beef strogonoff.I made as written and found it to be very bland so next time I did 1 can mushroom 2 cans mushroom with roasted garlic and one package beef onion soup mix and I have to say that this really made a difference. Also don't cook the noodles in the sauce as this will make it way to thick. Try this adjustment and see for yourself.

I added diced potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, splash of Worchestershire sauce and about a tablespoon of minced garlic. I set the crock pot on low and let it work its magic. The end result (after only 6 hours) was very thin so I added one part cornstarch to one part icy cold water to thicken. I ended up thickening too much, but the end result was still very tasty. Would make again and possibly add more veggies.

to me, this is a stoganoff. instead of cream of chicken- cream of mushroom, milk, onions, and sour cream at the end; not a bad recipe, though.

Great recipe. My family loves it, including my very picky 11 year old son. I usually put in the egg noodles an hour before the end of cooking time, along with a can of frozen sliced carrots and a half a cup of frozen peas and it turns out amazing. I also season the beef with a lot of salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme at the beginning.

OHmygoodness, OHmygoodness, you all made this sound soooo good, unfortunately it was so salty we couldn't eat it, my dog wouldn't eat it either...*heavy sigh*. I added one pkg of onion soup mix as suggested, I think that's what made it awful. Sorry :*(

So easy and so delicious! I only gave it 4 stars, because I agree with others that it needs seasoning to make it 5 stars. I added a packet of french onion soup mix and it was yummy. I also added peas to it to make it a little more healthful.

This was a little bland, so I added 2 beef boullion cubes to add some flavor. Keep an eye on it, it tends to become too thin. Other than that, my family really enjoys this stew.

This was a very easy and quick recipe for me. I followed the advice of some of the other reviewers and used 2 cream of chicken and 1 cream of mushroom and a package of dry onion mix. I also had trouble with the sides burning, but the stew came out great! Next time I will add a can or two of sliced mushrooms or maybe some jarred wild mushrooms if I can get some.

Simple and tasty. I added a packet of onion soup mix and a bay leaf, cooked iy for five hours alternating the high and low setting so it wouldn't burn. Delicious.

Although I did make adjustments to this recipe, I may have cooked it too long (10 hrs) for my crockpot. The edges along the sides of the pot started to burn. The flavor was good, though. I added a pkg of dry onion soup mix and a few dashes of Worchestershire sauce and did change the condensed soups to 2 of cream of chicken and 1 of cream of muchroom. Will make it again, but cook for 8 hours.

My whole family liked these beef and noodles. I added 2 bay leaves, some sage, salt and pepper, a small can of mushrooms and some worcestershire sauce to the soup. They turned out very rich and delicious. I served them over mashed potatoes with a side of peas. I'll be making these again!

To make this a 5 star, add an envelope of dry onion soup mix. Try serving on plain mashed potatoes, I know that's two carbs, but is really good.

Thanks for easy recipe. Keep lid on crockpot beginners like myself! Its key to cooking right. I didnt have W- sauce but made no difference for us. I also used a few tsp minute tapioca to thicken sauce it makes plenty great sauce for dipping crusty bread in! I browned meat first also. Put Vegs on bottom, some Italian seasoning and liquid overall. It is creamy adjust season to taste. Thanks

My family loved this recipe! I took a bite and it reminded me of a recipe my great grandmother used to make called beef tips and noodles. It was easy to make and delicious! Thank you for sharing this recipe! I will make this again for sure.

This was a good, really easy recipe. I added a bit of Worteschire sauce and some garlic powder to the soup. Then I served it over egg noodles. I will certainly make this again when I know I won't have any time to make dinner!

I added more flavor by subbing 1 can of the chx soup for 1 can of Cream of Chicken Soup w/Herbs(Campbells). That helped kick up the flavor...also added couple dashes Worchestershire. This is so easy, delicious, comforting. You can add your own personal touches or as is...very versatile. I served over noodles, a side of veggies & biscuits...GOOD!
