What a yummy, easy supper this makes! With plenty left for lunches this week. Followed the recipe to the letter and was rewarded with great meal! Served with corn muffins--great combo! Thanks for posting this.

This was so good and easy to prepare. Perfect for a busy, cold fall day. I followed the instructions except after browning, placed everything in the crock-pot and let it simmer on low for 4 hours. The smell when we walked into the house was awesome and we had a delicious dinner waiting after a busy day. Served this with warm corn bread and a glass of red table wine - perfect end to a great day. Thanks Sweety, I'll be making this again.

When I come across a recipe that is easy, delicious, hearty, and satisfying, I give double my five-star review. I loved this recipe. The only thing I did different was add the pasta to the bowl first, then top it with the stew. YUM!Sure glad I doubled the recipe-
