I added pot barley to mine to thicken it up even more. It adds great flavour and texture!

I used this recipe for my first attempt at making beef stew. Everyone absolutely loved it! I am making it again tomorrow for my boyfriends birthday. I did add some worcestershire and balsamic vinegar while adding the stock and other things in. If you make this, you will not be dissappointed!

I did make a few changes that turned out to be very good. I added a cup of beef stock and 3 table spoons of flour. I cooked it on high for 4 hours and switched it to low because it looked like the stew was boiling to much. about an hour before the stew was ready I added a couple of cups of frozen corn, a couple of cups of frozen peas, and a couple of chopped up cellary stocks. I tasted it and added a bunch more seasoning because I like extra flavor. The stew turned out great nice and thick, the meat was perfect everyone in my family loved it. Emeril's recipes have never let me down

For those of you who had a problem with it being too thin, you need to make sure that you do cook it for the full 8 hours. I was really worried about the thickness until the very end and then it was perfect! My only recommendation would be to take it off the heat very quickly afterward, I left my crock pot on on warm and it ended up thickening too much, the left overs looked like a paste. I will agree with others that if you use only the seasoning in the recipe that it will turn out bland; but I find that with most recipes you'll ending up needing a little extra salt, pepper, spices, etc. Will definitely use this recipe again!

I am in college and just learning to cook. I came home for spring break and wanted to cook dinner for my family and this stew was a big hit! Everyone loved it! I did add a little extra flour as many people had suggested to do that in the reviews and the consistency was perfect! We had a ton left over and it made a great lunch the next day as well! My little brother does not like mushrooms but even he ate it all gone, including the mushrooms!

I added a few dashes of worcestershire sauce to kick it up a notch! It tasted much better with it in. I also added a can of stewed tomatoes, because I always like stewed tomatoes in my stews or even in my spaghetti sauce.

Don't the potatoes over-cook or disappear I should say in a slow cooker over a long (8-9 hours low set cook time? Just wondering. Stew meat is pretty tuff and I usually pressure cook mine. First time using a slow cooker for this recipe. Thanks.

So easy to make and the essence spice lasts so that you can make many more batches of this stew in the future.

Thought this was a great recipe. Very easy to put together. Love the idea of the pearl onions.. what a flavor they added when you bit into them. Instead of having that over onion flavor in the stew.. it was more of an individual type flavor. Just great!!

Thank you so much, this is going in my recipe box!

I added a bit more flour to thicken it up, a little less beef broth and some red wine for flavor. Delish!
