This is a very good beef stew recipe. I used venison, but same basic taste. I had never dredged and browned the meat before. This step made a wonderful texture and gravy to the stew. The flavor was wonderful. I added a can of beef consomme...very rich flavor. My family LOVED it! Thanks!!!! P.S. The crockpot works well with this!!!
