Nancy Lindahl's Hearty Sweet and Sour Beef Stew image

Here is a crock pot stew that I found published in the Minneapolis Tribune many years ago. After you brown the meat and put every thing together, it cooks by itself. I have never met Nancy, but I thank her every time the aroma of this meal in a pot fills my kitchen. It serves at least 4 hungry people and left over's can be refrigerated for several days. After cooking all day, it still retains it's sweet/sour characteristics without either a burned taste or the washed out blandness that often requires more seasoning when served.

This stew was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and the beef was very tender.

This stew was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would cut the amount of brown sugar in half next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and the beef was very tender.

This stew was okay, but it wasn't anything special. The beef was a bit tough and the sauce was bland. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This stew was easy to make and so delicious! I used flank steak instead of stew meat and it turned out great. The sauce was flavorful and the beef was tender. I served it over rice and it was a perfect meal for a cold night.
