I made this stew for my husband and he loved it. His comment was “Do not lose this recipe.” The only ingredient I swapped was the cream of celery soup for cream of broccoli, only because that was what I had on hand. I also included a layer of sliced mushrooms. This is a 5 star recipe.

In reply to Glenys. Yes, you can use tomato sauce to replace the ketchup. Use the same amount. :)

Love this stew! Made multiple times. Wondering if there’s any suggestions on adapting it to an instant pot/pressure cooker?

This is absolutely the best beef stew i’ve ever made! I’ve been trying (and failing miserably) to find a good stew recipe and after trying this one I will never make it any other way. I didn’t (and wouldn’t) change a thing. my hubby was also happy because he was the poor soul who had to try and gag down all my failed stew attempts! I thank you and my sweet husband thanks you too!

Can this be frozen and then baked and/or put in the crock pot? Also, if your freezer recipes need to be cooked from frozen state, do you have modified oven instructions? Thanks!

MMmmm again, what a great recipe. I was going to do a stew this week as well, now I think I’ll do this one.

Try doing your stew in the oven like this in a Tagine for a very moist rich stew.

…or if you have an earthen pot with a lid for the oven, slow cook it for 2 hours, then take off the lid for last half hour (turn up the heat) and “crisp” up the potatos on top. (I only top it with potatoes)

Do this in single serving pots and you have an English ‘Hotpot’ found in many working mans pubs as cheap hot grub. Well at least here in the midlands 🙂

In reply to Michelle. I've not tried it with chicken breasts, but I imagine it would work great. I would only bake it for 1 1/2 hours.

Hi, I have dethawed chicken I need to use. Can I substitute chicken breasts, and if so, how will that change the cooking time?
Thank you! Michelle

Hi Caroline! I definitely think you could do this in a slow cooker. I would maybe cook it on low for about 6-7 hours. The meat pieces are pretty small, so it shouldnt take too long to cook. Let me know if you try it! 🙂

Hi! I have been following your blog for a while now, and love all your recipes! I was wondering if you think it could be put into a slow-cooker and how long would you cook the stew for then? Thanks for some awesome recipes!

This is the best stew I have ever had in my entire life!! I was afraid that it would end up to salty, so I used some salt-free ketchup. It also tastes great reheated in the microwave.
