I made this today and we loved it. I also added Potatoes to it. But i would like more liquid so next time i am going to double it. -
This was delicious! I tweaked the recipe though. I added a package of onion soup mix instead of beef stew seasoning, replaced the water with a can of beef stock and threw in a few chopped potatoes. I didn't have Gravy Master, so I just added a cornstarch slurry at the end, mixed it into the stew and turned the crock pot to high for 30 minutes to thicken it up. It was great.

We enjoyed this stew very much! I used onion soup seasoning, added 3 large white potatoes, and scaled the recipe to work with 3 lbs of beef. I also used beef stock instead of water. I couldn't find gravy master so I omitted that. I did also coat the beef in flour and browned it first, and then put it in the crock pot, and then deglazed the pan with a little red wine and beef stock and put that into the crock pot as well. I served the stew in bread bowls, and my 6 year old daughter loved it. I think I'll definitely be making this one again. -
Good flavor, added potatoes & couldn't find "gravy master" at store but it was good without it. -
Very tasty! I also added potatoes otherwise, I made it as directed.

So yummy! I've made this several times; it's perfect cold-weather comfort food. Instead of the water, I used 2 1/2 cups beef broth and I also added potatoes.

Great stew. I substituted a can of beef stock for water, added potatoes and used beefy onion soup mix instead of beef stew seasoning, but kept everything else pretty much the same. Wonderful flavor. I would recommend this one any day of the week. -
I loved this recipe! Like some others I added 6 potatoes and instead of the water I used beef broth and onion soup mix. I also coated the meat in flour and browned in oil first before putting into the crock pot. I saw another recipe that used 1 pop can sized V8 juice so I tossed that in too! I got rave reviews from that family that served as my guinea pigs! Thanks so much for a great recipe!
