I made this stew with a few modifications. I used chicken instead of beef, and I added some extra vegetables. The stew turned out great! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The gravy was also very tasty.

This stew was okay. The beef was a bit tough, but the vegetables were cooked well. The gravy was also a bit bland.

This stew is a lifesaver on busy weeknights! I love that I can just throw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner is ready when I get home. The beef is always so tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are cooked perfectly.
