Beef Stew
"Don't let the list of simple ingredients fool you! This is an excellent stew, and the recipe couldn't be any simpler. I can't recall where the recipe came from, but I've been making this for over 40 years! I've tried many other stew recipes, but none beat the ease and taste of this one."

My family really enjoyed the stew. My husband thought it was one of the best recipes I've tried. I thought it tasted pretty good, but next time I'll make a beef gravy from beef broth and a rue, instead of using the canned mushroom gravy. -
You are so right when you say it's easy and good! I really liked the fact that it wasn't to soupy. As a personal preferance, I will add some mushrooms next time. :) -
Oh My, This was SOOO good. I actually doubled the recipe and the only thing I changed was to add 3 fresh green onions. I baked it for about 3 hours...turning the temperature down to 300 degrees after 2 hours- the meat was soooo tender & my whole family enjoyed it. Excellent & Thanks for sharing it. I will be making this again. -
This sounds easy and yummmmmmy. Ive been looking for different stew recipes..I will for sure try this. Thanks

This is a picture of me with my oldest grandson, DJ and was taken this past summer when we went on a cruise and land tour of Alaska.
I am retired after working for the same company for 25 years. My husband is a retired military officer. After the military he started working for Lockheed and is now retired from there as well. We live in San Jose, CA and have lived in the same house for over 33 years. We have two grown children and 6 beautiful grandchildren. I love to try new recipes and jazz up old ones. Taste of Home and Southern Living are my favorite recipe magazines(I enjoy reading a little bit about the people who submit the recipes). Recipe Zaar is just an incredible site. I've made many new friends since joining. I have tons of cookbooks -- but now when I need a new recipe that I know I can count on, I come here!
