I'm a college student living with three other guys and four girls. Between classes and work, we barely have time to cook good meals. But this stew is easy to make, it doesn't take too long, and it's always a hit! I usually double the recipe and add a pound of bacon coated in brown sugar. It does our family well. Thanks Ted, whoever you may be.

This recipe was interesting and tasty. When we saw the picture i thought that my children wouldn't like it but. It turned out great and lasted a long time. It was great proportion for your family to reheat.

It was both easy to prepare and a excellent stew. I did substitute venison for the beef since deer season had been kind to me. Since I have no small kids I also added a bit of Worstchestire and Texas Pete, to taste. I also didn't have any frozen peas but found a regular can of baby peas works well.

A huge hit with my family! My husband rated it a 5, and he doesn't usually like beef stew!

This is a great basic stew recipe! The other day i didnt have beef broth or beef stew meat so i substituted chicken broth and pork meat and it was great! Kind of like chicken pot pie without the crust!

Great! This is just the stew recipe I've been looking for. I made no changes except for serving over rice. It was a big hit with my family.

I followed the recipe as stated but didn't add the peas. It was easy to throw together and put in the crock pot for a busy day. After tasting added some A1 and worcheshire sauce.

This was a great recipe. I did substitute mushrooms for the peas and I added a bit extra on the seasoning but other then that everything was great.

This was an easy recipe to follow. I don't cook much and I am always looking for easy family recipes. I have all boys and this recipe with white rice was a hit!

With the exception of swapping fresh mushrooms for the peas, I followed this recipe exactly. The vegetables were perfectly cooked, the consistency was great, but the stew didn't have one bit of flavor. I added some tomato paste and wine just before serving, which helped a little. I'd like to try this recipe again; maybe to figure out what went wrong. Also, personal preference, but the cornstarch seemed to give the stew a slimy feel. No one else commented on that, though.
