Very tasty, was a little too watery. I will try using chicken or beef stock next time

This was ok but the flavors were off to me. I don't think I will put the lemon juice in next time, that seemed to be the problem with it. I used all the water since we like ours a bit more soupy. But I added beef bouillon for flavor. We always omit salt and sugar in cooking as we find it isn't necessary and adds empty calories. It was no where near as good as the stovetop stew I make from this site.

Absolutely delicious!! This was my first attempt at homemade stew and it ROCKED! I followed some of the reviews and floured then pre-browned the meat in order it thicken the stew. I also opted to use celery and omit the corn. It all worked wonderfully! I definitely plan on making this again....my husband is surely hoping I do! :-)

This smelled wonderful while cooking but it did taste a bit bland- I reheated it today and put a couple of slices of cabbage on top and put the lid on it. Much better today. This is just one of those recipes that is better the next day-for whatever reason.

This is the best Beef Stew I have ever made! My family was equally impressed. Thanks Tara

As written I'm not sure about this recipe. I used 2 cups of boiling water with low sodium Sprouts Beef broth in it. Had to add a can of diced tomatoes for added flavor. Only used 3 new potatoes.

This was good, but I did make a few changes. I used 2 cans beef broth and 2 cups of water instead of 4 cups water. I also added a package of au jus gravy mix. This was delicious with the changes; however, it did make it overly salty. Between the broth and the gravy mix, I think the salt can be omitted completely.

YUM! I like the flavor of the 'broth' part...of course I added a little extra of all the spices and it is really nice. My family likes a thick stew so I dredged the beef in flour and browned it, and added some corn starch toward the end. OH! And I was short on time so I made this on the stove instead of the slow cooker. Used half the meat...I really love how the allspice/Worcestershire/sugar/salt/bay leaf flavors the stew!
