This is such a great recipe and reminded me of my mother's. I've taken leftover veggies from the fridge, cut up potatoes, along with what the recipe calls for and also put a dash of hot pepper flakes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I added those little red potatoes, and quartered the whole onions! Is this ever Delicious! Note! You DO NOT brown the stew meat first. It cooks to perfection during the 6 -7 hours. I used the dutch oven option in my oven at 300 for 7 hours.

This was easy with pre-cut stew beef, baby carrots and frozen beans. I would call this more of a soup than a stew. Flavorful and simple. I'm not sure why, but the stew beef, although quite pricey, actually tasted a bit dry. Lots of juice in the broth and veggies, but the beef didn't seem to retain the flavor. I would try this again, but I would try a different cut of meat.
