Didn't care for the taste. Not sure what ingredient gave it the taste I didn't like.

I honestly did not care for this recipe. It had a funny taste. I really do not think that I will make it again.

I love crock pot meals! This was quick & easy, I made extra so we would have leftovers. It was even better reheated the next day!

We've made this for almost everyone we know, and they love it. Especially people who normally don't like BBQ sauce....they have no idea it's in there!

This is an awesome recipe. It makes alot and the left overs were even better. Easy to get together, then just wait and eat. I work full time and it was great having this wonderful meal ready when I got home from work.

This was good. I used a 15 oz can of beef broth and it really did need the additional liquid. It didn't thicken as much as I would like. I have some other crock pot stew recipes that I like better,

I would make this recipe again, but it was way to sweet. Next time I'll use an 1/8 of a cup of BBQ sauce.

I made about a month ago for my family and we loved it! I am actually making as we speak for dinner tonight. I like that fact that there is a little bit of an BBQ taste but its not overpowering. The only issue I had was having it thicken, so this time I won't do that. I will just eat it without the water and flour.
