This stew is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the sweet potatoes and the beef was so tender that they didn't even notice it.

I made this stew in my slow cooker and it turned out perfect! The beef was fall-apart tender and the sweet potatoes were creamy. I served it with a side of mashed potatoes and it was a hit with my family.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

I'm not usually a fan of beef stew, but this recipe changed my mind. The stew was flavorful and comforting, and the sweet potatoes were a nice touch. I will definitely be making this again.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover beef. I usually make it when I have a roast or steak that I need to use up. The stew is always delicious and it's a great way to get a healthy meal on the table.

I love this stew! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I like to serve it with a side of crusty bread or rice.

This stew was just okay. The beef was a bit tough, and the sweet potatoes were bland. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different cut of beef and added more spices.
