This was great! Had to reduce the amount of onions and mushrooms as we only had 1 lb of stew meat. Kept the potatoes the same and added garlic. I got the buffalo online and it was really good, much better than beef. Will be using this recipe again.

So easy and tasty! I added pepper and garlic salt on top at the beginning and it didn't need anything once we served it.

As another reviewer mentioned, this makes a full pot, so I think it's better to allow more cooking time, like 8-10 hours, because after 7 hours neither the meat nor the carrots were very tender. My husband pressure cooked the leftovers and that did the trick. I used regular potatoes, beef broth, and omitted the mushrooms.

This is a good one dish meal- very good flavor and the meat was so tender! I like to make my stew in the oven, 325 for 4 hours.
