The best beef stew I have ever had. My kids are fussy so I put the onion in whole and took it out when the stew was ready.

Wonderful! I made this tonight and sad to say it is much better than my recipe. Maybe it's the bay leaves? I added a can of un-drained diced tomatoes instead of soup, because I love tomatoes. I cooked this in the crock pot on low for 8 hours. This will be the only stew I ever make from now on. Thank you very much!

This is the way mama used to make it. The tomato soup add a great flavor that I remember well. I hadn't thought about adding wine to it. I'll have to try that.

Great stew, I however did not have enough meat to go around. I did leave out the carrots, I do not like them cooked. Will make again!

Very good beef stew. I had never thought to use tomato soup in place of tomato sauce. I used Janine#1's suggestion about cooking the onion whole and then taking out before serving because my kids are picky about onions as well. I did end up adding some parsley and a packet of onion mushroom soup mix for more flavor and it turned out great!! My kids ate it and never even realized that onion was in it!I will be making this one again.Thanks!!

Nice, flavourful stew. The gravy is very runny, more like soup. I did thicken it up a bit. I didn't have bouillon cubes so I used beef broth in place of the cubes and water. Next time I will use less liquid. The meat came out very nice. It really does need 8 hours to cook but it smells so nice when you open that door after work. Thanks for the recipe. We will try this one again.I forgot to say that I added peas about an hour before it was done. To the leftovers I added some frozen bean. There is something about stew that is always better the second time around.

I am not a great cook. I probably never will be a "great cook." But I really enjoy trying! I am so happy to have found this place to find great recipes to try out on my BF. He loves to be my guinea pig too, so it works out for all! I have made such good friends here too. It's true what they say, this place is addicting!
