Awe-some! Made exactly the way user Corinne modified and it came out fabulous! By far, the best slow cooker beef stew recipe I've ever tried. Here are her modifications: 1. Increase flour to 1/3 cup and substitute seasoned salt for regular salt. Put flour mixture into gallon-sized, zippered bag. Shake beef in bag to coat. Sauté coated beef in 1-2 tablespoons olive oil until browned. Add chopped onion to beef to sauté and soften. Transfer to slow cooker. 2. Mix beef broth (I used Swanson's Certified Organic in aseptic carton) with 1 TABLEspoon Worcestershire and ½ cup red wine. Pour into hot skillet to deglaze, then pour over beef and onions in cooker. 3. Add remaining ingredients with these additions: increase garlic to 2 cloves minced, 2 bay leaves; add 1 packet McCormick's Beef Stew Seasoning.

Delicious! I took the advice of another and doubled the recipe, used LOTS of cheese (sprinkled on broccoli layer, and chicken layer and on top). Also, since I doubled the recipe, I used 1 can of cream of chicken and herbs along with 1 can of broccoli cheese soup, and added about 1/2 cup of sour cream (in addition to milk in recipe). I also used more bread crumbs. I will definitely make this again, the EXACT SAME WAY. My husband and my 2 year old couldn't get enough!
