"I mixed up a few recipes and came up with this one. The meat was so tender. Serve with crusty bread. This stew is chunky, not soupy."

Crock pot meals are great in that you can put them together and forget about them until it's time to eat. I followed this recipe as written and it turned out good. There was a nice ratio of meat to vegetables and the meat was very tender. I wish it had been more flavorful. I think next time, I'll add more of the tomato paste/Worcestershire/garlic/paprika mix.

Tried this and did not alter recipe at all. Very bland, and liquidy. Would add more tomato and perhaps red wine or beef broth.

Turned out really great. I ended up using a little more meat, four potatoes and no bay leaves. Was done after 7 hours and left on warm to keep warm until everyone was around to eat. For the beer I used Sam Adam's Boston Lager. Very tasty recipe.
