I make this all the time, probably once a week in cold weather, great recipe. I change it up a bit and use an entire bottle of Guinness beer or red wine and mix either of those with beef stock instead of the water. I also add 6 large potatoes cut up, sliced mushrooms, and peas. I usually up the liquid to 3-4 cups though, to account for all the additional vegetables. Also, the potatoes make it thick so no cornstarch needed.

I loved this stew, its a keeper! I used beef stock instead of water. I also used more garlic since we love it in our house. I did not use corn starch since I added cubed potatoes. I let the veggies go the full 40 min and they were tender. I served over cornbread.

Ok, now I see where others have made this recipe and reviewed it...Not sure why I didn't see those until now, but anyhow... I made this recipe for supper tonight in my new Dutch Oven... added petite peas in the last 5 mins or so...next time will see about adding some mushrooms, so there will be potatoes, mushrooms and peas along with the carrots and celery... added about a cup of beef broth 1/2 way through cooking instead of plain water... This recipe, definitely a keeper... Thanks Paula!!!

I love this recipe. I make it all the time for my kids and boyfriend. I add potatoes at the last 30 minutes and also add corn at the end. I bake fresh biscuits to go along with it. It is great to eat on a cold fall day.

I'm certainly no great cook so I always follow recipes exactly. However, I read several reviews and decided to add 2 more cups of water, a packet of lipton beefy onion soup mix, and my boyfriend (who is very encouraging brought a stew mix from the grocery store. The stew mix included a turnip, carrots, parsnips, celery, parsley, leeks, and the onion. I also added 4 russet potatoes so that it could be an entire meal. It tasted great! I would definitely make this recipe again. Since its the first day of fall, I wanted to star practicing my fall/ winter menu items and this definitely one of them.

This is a great recipe. I have made it once and made a few changes. I did not have celery, so I added celery seed. I also added a potato, but think 2 would have been better. I did not remove the garlic (minced or bay leaf. I also did not take out any liquid, but added a little corn starch and water at the end to thicken after adding a can of diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano. Served with French bread. Husband and 2 YO son LOVED it.

This is a great beef stew recipe. I did add the carrots a little earlier in the cooking process so that they were fully cooked. I did add some beef
broth along with some potatoes and frozen peas. This was a delicious meal
served along with some crusty bread. I did have to cook mine a little
longer than the recipe indicated but it was worth it. This ones a keeper.
