I really loved this recipe for the ease of it, and at my dad's request added dumplings to the stew - it turned out great!

This was a really great stew! We did add a can of mushroom soup and a jar of beef gravy, left out the jalepeno's and increased the stewed tomatos to a big can (28oz). It was the best stew I have evr had. I served it with a big dallop of sour cream on top. Yum!

I made this recipe because it seemed so quick and easy. It was just that, and it was too die for. I cooked it for 6 people coming to my house for dinner and they raved about it and all want the recipe. This recipe will become a regular meal in my house.

This just didn't quite suit our taste when done and hubby wanted more broth so I added some beef broth a can of Rotel tomatoes and just dumped in a package of Knorr's Vegetable Soup mix. These additions were more suiting to us.

I thought this was o.k. My meat was pretty tough and the potatoes and carrots were not completely done even after cooking it for over 7 hours. After my husbands' first bowl, he gave it a 3.2. After his second bowl, he gave it a 3.75! I think that this is a good basic recipe that you can add whatever vegetables you would like to it. I won't be in a hurry to make this again, but I will make it again...eventually.

We found that this was a real good recipe, however, I did tweak it a little bit. After it cooked for 4 hrs, I saw the broth was thin, so I removed some of the juice. After tasting it, I found it quite bland. I chose to use chinese 5 spice, celery salt and black pepper for the seasonings, and it was spectacular. I also added fresh mushrooms. Next time, I might add more mushrooms, forget the stewed tomatoes, and use Tomato soup instead of the juice.

Overall, this beef stew was very delicious. The first time I made it the potatoes weren't quite soft enough, but I think it was because it smelled so good and I got impatient and began eating ;-) This stew also tastes very good with a white or vidalia onion substituted for the yellow onion. Great recipe!

This stew will warm you right up. The beef was tender made a hearty meal, but it tasted a little bland. In the future I will add more salt and doctor it up with some spices.

This was AMAZING! I forgot to pick up V8 at the store, but I had a can of beef stock and used that. This was my first time making beef stew and everyone said it was fab! Thanks!

I submitted this and my recipe doesn't call for tomato juice. It's for V-8, which is a vegetable juice. I can imagine it would be tomato-ey with tomato juice and stewed tomatoes.

My husband made this and instead of letting the vegetables soak separately overnight, he mixed everything together the night before. It turned out fine, except that the potatoes were only about half cooked at the end of the day. We did use the peppers, and the flavor of the stew was excellent - we didn't think it had too much tomato flavor at ALL. In fact, when we make it again, we plan to use much less potato and twice as many stewed tomatoes.

My first slow-cooker recipe ever! This was really easy to make, and tasted pretty traditional. I was worried it'd be too tomato-flavored, but was surprised to find that when cooked, the stew was in not a tomato sauce, or even a gravy, but more like a watery broth (tasty though). I threw the jalapenos in, which made it even tastier. I'll probably make this again.

I increased this recipe to 10 servings.Because the broth is thin I boiled 4 c tomato juice,added 1 c milk and 3 tbsp cornstarch,boiled again and then added to the stew. In the last hour of cooking I also added 2 c. of cooked barley.Once adjusted the recipe was excellent.
