  1. I used a chuck roast instead of the stew beef and just cut it at serving time into chunks.. It fell apart anyway while cooking so I just pulled the meat apart. Delicious blend of flavors and it made one delicious meal for us! About half way through cooking time I added potatoes and carrots to have with the roast. Yummy!
     
  2. Really enjoyed this. I used chuck roast for the beef stew meat and 1 cup beef broth for 1 cup of the wine and we loved it. I really think 1 1/2 cups of wine would have been way too much for us. Loved the combination of flavors here. I did add some extra water (about a cup) I should have added more cornstarch since I added additional water. I slow cooked this for 8 hours and that was plenty for 2 1/2 pounds of chuck roast. Served this with recipe #346501 :) Thanks
     
  3. I made this tonight and it was a hit! Because my husband is allergic to msg, I left out the onion soup mix and used a cube of msg free beef bouillon. I also swapped out 1/2 cup of wine for 1/2 cup of water and added 3 sliced cloves of garlic and a bay leaf. Served it over creamy whipped potatoes and even the kids gobbled it right up!
     
  4. I was very pleased with the results. This was a great alternative to regular beef stew and was easy and tasty. I did add a few cloves of garlic, pepper, and some parsley. I made it on the stove and just left it simmer for about 2 hours before adding the mushrooms and cooking for another 10 minutes. (14)
     
  5. How absolutely simple this was to make. . .served it over pasta. . ..Great flavor. I used beef stew meat, one onion, reduced the wine by 1/4 cup and cooked on low for 7 hours. Because of the reviews, I cut the beef into smaller pieces and reduced the wine slightly. If you use flour instead of cornstarch, you may need a bit more flour to thicken.<br/>Next time, I'll make just as described. My husband loved it but said that the mushrooms lost their flavor. I might try adding them later next time. <br/>Thank you for a really good meal.

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies. <a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=rsc002.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/rsc002.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/lucyatpoppys005.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"><a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=006.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/006.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=hilfiger001.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/hilfiger001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
