Made this last night and it was EXCELLENT! My only problem? Why aren't there any potatoes in this recipe?! Beef stew without potatoes is down right un-American! I added them, and they were perfection! My only other suggestion, for others with young kids is that it is pretty spicy with those red pepper flakes! I would halve them (although I love spicy food myself, when cooking for a mixed group, this may be a little over the edge for them. The turmeric added a beautiful color and an unusual flavor! We loved this one and will be adding it into our list of family favorites!

Nice and easy, quicker than other recipes, and tasted great. Also used canned tomatoes like other folks. Forgot the cornstarch, but it was fine. Will be using this as my go-to stew recipe. I really like Swanson all-natural broths.

I added 2 cups chopped potato (my husband is a meat and potato man, increased the cornstarch to 3- 4 TBLS, the turmeric to 1 tsp and added 48 oz. instead of 24 oz. beef stock. It was delicious. My husband could not get enough!
