EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Serve food directly from the lined slow cooker. Once your slow cooker cools, remove the liner and throw away for easy clean up.

Substitute mushroom beef gravy mix or brown beef gravy mix for the onion gravy mix, if desired.

Serve this saucy beef stew over mashed potatoes with plenty of crusty bread for mopping up the extra sauce.

If I only need 1 cup of broth why do I have to buy the 32 oz carton? Doesn't make sense.

This stew recipe is delicious. For years I would make stew and it never tasted the same each time and it was always sort of blah. This recipe with the combination of carmelized onions and the onion gravy mix makes this stew spectacular. It is now my go to stew recipe. Very yummy.

This is delicious!! I substituted potatoes for parsnips, but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. I love that earthy, and yet, slightly sweet taste from the thyme and sugar and caramelized onion.
