It was tasty, but a little thicker than I am used to.

Great recipe! I coated the meat with the flour and browned it in a skillet before putting in slow cooker and it turned out GREAT!

So delicious and so easy. I don't think you could mess this one up. The kids love it too.

Very good and very easy. We also added some extra seasoning - extra freshly cracked pepper and some season salt. Will try leftovers over rice.

I also found this a bit bland, I added onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, celery salt, oregano, sea salt and additional fresh ground pepper. That will wake up this recipe!

Simple, tasty recipe. This is a good base for a slow cooker stew. Nothing fancy, but yummy.
