This was a major hit in our home; had some leftovers, and that went quickly. Tweaked it slightly for personal taste; added two tbl white vinegar to balance out the sweet\/salty flavors, substituted crushed\/dried marjoram for the Italian seasoning, and added two parsnips cut into 1-inch pieces (just a personal favorite). I also went a little more heavy-handed on the beef bouillon and added a little more salt directly to the cooking sauce (between the carrots, parsnips, tomato soup base, and brown sugar there?s enough sweetness in the recipe, and it can use a little more saltiness). Between the seasoned flour coating on the beef cubes, and the tapioca granules, they both provided just the perfect thickening consistency; Amazing!! (I loved not having to thicken anything at the very end; just add the sliced mushrooms 1 hr before serving, give it a stir, and it?s all ready for you to enjoy!!). This was a total winner and will definitely be a repeat over the winter months, I can guarantee that.

My family of 3 men gave it a thumbs up. That you don't have to prebrown the meat (a tedious step) makes it super easy to prepare! The only substitution I made was tomato bisque instead of tomato soup, thinking it would be a little thicker, which it was, and since I like a more subtle tomato flavor. I also served it over the noodles, which is a nice change, but you could put potatoes in the stew too for added convenience. I'm going to make it again this week. *** I just made it again for my brother- & Japanese sister-in-law. I couldn't find any flour in their house, so I substituted cornmeal and guess what! It made it even better and my Japanese sister-in-law asked for seconds! What a compliment to this recipe! I'll make it that way from now on.

This stew was very good! I served it over mashed potatoes. The flour and quick-cooking tapioca gave it a gravy like consistency. Will definitely make again!<\/p>","CommentId":3,"DateRated":"05\/29\/2015 12:57","GUID":"4456EC2A15C84E09BB9C67CA62A2A1F9","MemberId":4262008,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"rwippel","SubmittedDate":"05\/29\/2015 12:57"},{"Comment":"

Delicious! It is a cold, wet , rainy, January night & this just hit the spot for my husband, son & I. I served it with egg noodles & rolls but honestly would have preferred it just by itself with only the bread to mop up the extra sauce.<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"01\/03\/2015 20:21","GUID":"efc5aac572b144899e233fd09f5cba3f","MemberId":1574460,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"chinadoll2008","SubmittedDate":"01\/03\/2015 20:21"},{"Comment":"
We thought this was so good, although I did potatoes and no shrooms and I added Italian stewed tomatoes.........loved that I didn't have to precook the stew meat....I will make this again.<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"12\/20\/2014 12:08","GUID":"96203f99c4784aa7a9436bd49a3163bd","MemberId":7680433,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"grandmab5","SubmittedDate":"12\/20\/2014 12:08"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"12\/15\/2014 12:04","GUID":"11e3cbab2d7048a4a59ecab610125e12","MemberId":6955723,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"laureltornes","SubmittedDate":"12\/15\/2014 12:04"},{"Comment":"
I just had your stew ad it was not very good at all. I guess it must work for some.

I grow and can my own tomatoes. I prefer to use them. Also agree no shrooms! Potatoes make it more a comfort food! Use a chuck roast and Kitchen Bouquet for a base. Make it in a pressure cooker!<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"12\/13\/2014 11:44","GUID":"ce3991c7148749308587041c93113f01","MemberId":7764967,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"Blakebryon","SubmittedDate":"12\/13\/2014 11:44"},{"Comment":"

This is one of the best and easiest stew recipes I have ever tried, and I have tried a lot! My family of 3 men gave it a thumbs up. That you don't have to prebrown the meat (a tedious step) makes it super easy to prepare! The only substitution I made was tomato bisque instead of tomato soup, thinking it would be a little thicker, which it was, and since I like a more subtle tomato flavor. I also served it over the noodles, which is a nice change, but you could put potatoes in the stew too for added convenience. I'm going to make it again this week. *** I just made it again for my brother- & Japanese sister-in-law. I couldn't find any flour in their house, so I substituted cornmeal and guess what! It made it even better and my Japanese sister-in-law asked for seconds! What a compliment to this recipe! I'll make it that way from now on. This is probably my favorite stew recipe of all!<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"01\/24\/2016 14:38","GUID":"b2fe9e4349f84a1e8ad22d153e9b2ac2","MemberId":5946195,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"cwbuff2","SubmittedDate":"10\/11\/2014 14:35"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"08\/20\/2013 14:44","GUID":"496958ccd3bd4dd19fc61b772d333f23","MemberId":7378009,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"scottishsnowflake","SubmittedDate":"08\/20\/2013 14:44"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"03\/03\/2013 16:29","GUID":"db1a5d943c3541d098a63676dfcb8192","MemberId":3910003,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"jroestel2002@yahoo.com","SubmittedDate":"03\/03\/2013 16:29"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"01\/28\/2013 23:48","GUID":"44b02038da374e7685af170e9c9deeb3","MemberId":1853059,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"jennifer","SubmittedDate":"01\/28\/2013 23:48"},{"Comment":"
The weather is terrible outsaide and due to my husband job demands, I was looking for something that would warm him and simple enough for me to make. I was not disappointed with this recipe.

Made it couple months ago. I left out the mushrooms because I'm not to fond of them. The Beef Stew was still very good to eat. The stew did not last very long in my house. It went very fast.

Outrageously easy to prep, and equally as delicious. This was a major hit in our home; had some leftovers, and that went quickly. Tweaked it slightly for personal taste; added two tbl white vinegar to balance out the sweet\/salty flavors, substituted crushed\/dried marjoram for the Italian seasoning, and added two parsnips cut into 1-inch pieces (just a personal favorite). I also went a little more heavy-handed on the beef bouillon and added a little more salt directly to the cooking sauce (between the carrots, parsnips, tomato soup base, and brown sugar there?s enough sweetness in the recipe, and it can use a little more saltiness). Between the seasoned flour coating on the beef cubes, and the tapioca granules, they both provided just the perfect thickening consistency; Amazing!! (I loved not having to thicken anything at the very end; just add the sliced mushrooms 1 hr before serving, give it a stir, and it?s all ready for you to enjoy!!). This was a total winner and will definitely be a repeat over the winter months, I can guarantee that.

I can't figure out what everyone else found so great. There was some odd flavor that I think must have been in the Italian Seasoning. It was overpowering, and I followed this exactly. I tried to "fix" it, but nothing could mask the taste. I'd do the base of this again, but not use the seasoning at all. I think a 1 T. of brown sugar was too much also. My husband agreed the whole thing was "odd."<\/p>","CommentId":23,"DateRated":"12\/04\/2012 19:43","GUID":"a735c7a34b5f4d08abb2fb3a7383a117","MemberId":1792624,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"Kimberly","SubmittedDate":"12\/04\/2012 19:43"},{"Comment":"

This was not only a breeze to make, but the flavor was wonderful! We served it over lightly buttered egg noodle and it was a hit.
