When/how do you add the seasoning? Do you coat your meat in it then brown, add seasoning & veggies or do you add everything at once & simmer?

My family's new favorite! Got tired of using packets of stew seasoning sold at stores [some of those ingredient lists are frightening!], so looked for a recipe to make on my own. This is great! <br/><br/>My husband loved the "kick" from the cayenne, as did my teen [though I reduced the cayenne by half; would have been too spicy for us if I'd used full recipe value]. The flavor was great! <br/><br/>I used about 6 TB of the mixture to about 5 cups of water in the crock pot with 2 1/2 pounds browned stew meat. Threw in parsnips, carrots, blue potatoes, pearl onions, fresh mushrooms, kohlrabi leaves, bay leaf, celery, a large can of whole tomatoes [with the juice] & a can of white beans. The stew seasoning mix had 6 hours to steep and infuse it's delicious flavor into the meat & veggies. Wonderful!! We are keeping this recipe! -
I don't understand this getting five stars, at first it tastes real good then the pepper kicks in at the end and drowns out the flavor. I was hesitant to put that much pepper in it but did it anyone cause of all the positive reviews. I like hot and spicy foods but the pepper is way too much, unless you like to drink Tabasco sauce which some do, cut down on the pepper a lot! Ruined dinner, milk and sugar couldn't help enough.

Perfect. Not too much or too little of anything. It has that simple, home-y, comforting taste I think of when I picture stew. Nothing fancy or unusual, but nothing lacking or tasteless. Thanks. -

Half the black pepper or you'll be sorry. I put this in beef stew and can taste just the black pepper between bites. It drowns out/covers all the other flavors.

I also use this for a middle eastern style chicken stew/soup by cutting the paprika in half, increasing the rosemary to 1TB, and adding 1TB cumin seed, 1TB turmeric and 1TB thyme. Good on grilled chicken breasts too. Works for me.

Only used 1 1/2 TB black pepper, no cayenne pepper as I have 4 small children), and omitted flour (so now it's fine for SCD/Paleo/grain free diets AND yummy!)

With 5 kids and a hungry husband to feed, I'm always looking for good, budget friendly meals. We generally eat meals that use little meat (I try to use 1 lb or less per dinner, and none the rest of day), so that means lots of casseroles and meats with gravy.
I enjoy baking, so bread recipes and desserts tend to get saved more frequently than others. I'm especially partial to chocolate and lemon (although not together).
