The stew was very good and easy to make. I used fresh vegetables instead of frozen. The wine was a nice flavorful touch.

This was FANTASTIC! My husband says "A+++". I didn't have frozen veggies so used 3 potatoes, 2 celery stalks, 2 carrots, 1/2 onion, fire roasted diced tomatoes, and Shiraz for the wine. I didn't have rosemary (not a big fan of it anyway) so I used 1/2 tsp combo of sage and tarragon then sprinkled a little (less than 1/2 tsp) of Italian seasoning just because. I followed the rest of the directions and boy did my house smell good! It barely had any liquid when it was done so I added a can of beef broth- then it looked like the picture. It was great with the french bread I made (thank you bread maker). Next time I will probably add a can of water using the diced tomato can in addition to the can of beef broth for more of a "soup"-more good stuff to dip the bread into. This had a really good strong flavor. I will definitely be making this again!

Delicious... even better when I reheated it the second day. I didn't use wine-- I used water. I didn't have any rosemary on hand so I didn't bother with that either. I did slow cook it with three bay leaves instead of one, and took 2 of them out midway through cooking. I also couldn't locate a bag of frozen stew vegetables, so I chopped up 4 peeled small russet potatoes, 4 medium stalks of celery, 3 medium-large peeled carrots, and 3/4 of a large yellow onion diced. I slow-cooked on high for 5 hours and low for about 2. Perfect for eating with a nice cornbread!

This was good, but not as flavorful as I would have hoped, based on the other reviews. I used fresh veggies instead of frozen, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly.

I make tis about every other week since discovering it back in November. It's so yummy and is great for lunch the next day. The only thing I change is adding more garlic powder and wine. I also followed one of the reviewers and add beef broth towards the end to increase the serving size/make it a bit more soupy. Not sure if this is a common sense thing but it's much much better if you have the time to cook it for 8 hours though delicious no matter what time you go with.

Our favorite slow cooker recipe! I used red wine instead of water and also added some beef boullion. You can also substitute tomato sauce for the diced tomatoes. Delicious!

I made this using fresh vegetables, carrot, onion, celery and potatoes, just eyeballing the amounts, instead of the frozen veggies. I also used frozen rosemary from last summer’s herb garden - so much better than dried! I cooked this on low, and in my slow cooker it was done in 7 hours. Check it earlier than the recipe indicates, as all slow cookers are different. Hubs and I both enjoyed this, and since it’s so easy to make, I just may be making it again.
