"This comes from my friend's mother. It is so versatile and comes out great every time. I like to make this in a crock pot in the morning and leave it in all day, but you do not have to."

This is very good. I used red wine instead of water. It was great.

Really good beef stew! I followed the suggestion made by mosma and cooked this in my crock pot on low for 8 hours. It was so nice to put everything together in the crock pot and have a tasty meal ready for supper. I did add more carrots and potatoes, added 1 green pepper, 1 can of diced tomatoes, and omitted the mushrooms. We like a thinner gravy so I did not thicken it with flour. Thank you for sharing mosma!
