This is a great stew recipe! It is nice because it is different. My kids like to eat this stew. I have made the stew two differerent ways. I have made it with the ground beef for the meatballs and green beans, which you could definitly add more green beans. I have also made the meatballs with ground chicken and turkey sausage and spinach instead of green beans. Both ways are very good!

This is an excellent recipe. Watched this episode with my kids, who said, "Can you make this?" I made just two changes. Rather than use potatoes and green beans, I roasted one pound of carrots and one pound of parsnips. I then added them at the same time as the meatballs. Thank you Rachael!

This was a great comfort stew. I normally do not stray from a recipe but I wanted more out of this stew. Instead of the 1-2 cups of beef broth, I added 4 cups of low-sodium beef broth. This thinned out the stew, provided more portions & helped me control salt content. It's easier to add than take it away. Instead of 2 lbs potatoes, I added only 1 lb 1 inch diced potatoes & 1 lb 1/2 inch sliced carrots. I totally omitted the green beans and added 3 cans drained cannellini beans. I added meatballs once carrots & potatoes were fork tender as my meatballs were done in the 12 minutes in the oven. My garnish was grated parmesan cheese & fresh minced parsley. Italian toast plus an ice cold glass of pino grigio! My husband had 3 bowls & told me to leave the pot out so he could have more later!

I saw Rachel make this yesterday and had to try it. Delicious! Didn't have any fennel, so I added basil and oregano to the meatballs. It took longer than the recipe said for the potatoes (maybe I didn't cut them small enough and the green beans.I will be taking the leftovers for lunch tomorrow!

This is a great one pot meal. So tasty, yummy and healthy for you. I used turkey ground meet instead of beef (because that is what I had on hand. Only suggestion I would make is the time is off for the green beans, if you like them cooked somewhat turn the heat up to medium and cook for about 15 minutes. Really cooked beans about 25 minutes. Can't wait for leftovers tonight.
