Really Easy Beef Stew

"This is an extraordinarily easy recipe and so very good on a cold day. I found it in a Better Homes and Gardens Busy Woman's Cookbook that my mother has had for years. Adjust the seasonings to your preference. I've added oregano and garlic and it's turned out well."

  1. This is pretty much how my mother used to make beef stew. Simple, easy, tasty and smell great while it cooking. I did add a couple of dashes of Worcestershire and lots of pepper. Thanks for sharing a dish that was greatly appreciated on a cold dreary day. Made for Cookbook Tag.
     
  2. This is very easy to make. I doubled the recipe to feed my hungry boys. It was very good, but I felt that it still needed some more flavor. I'd add some garlic, thyme and parsley next time. Maybe even some extra veggies, too. All in all, it's good and would make a good crockpot recipe. Thanx!
