I have to day, I was surprised at how good this was. I did use less bbq sauce though... just my preference.

This was delicious! I did not find this to be an overpowering BBQ taste at all. It was a perfect blend. Instead of flour to thicken I used cornstarch, and it was a perfect amount of gravy. It says to cook for 8-9 hrs on low but mine was done in 4 hrs on low. I have a rival 5 quart slow cooker. Delicious!

i didnt cut up my meat since it was still frozen. so i made more of a roast bef instead of stew. my husband wont eat stew, i tried this for me, and he loved it. he said it had a nice zing to it.

Very easy and tasty. I added a bit of garlic and some Worschester sauce and it was good. As with all crock pot recipes - it was better on the second day, so plan enough for leftovers.

This was really good. It was simple and cost effective and really filling. I served it over rice, but I think it would be good over egg noodles, too. My husband told me I could make it again - and he is very picky! Will definatley make again.

I think the recipe was great & easy to make, but the BBQ sauce made it have a strong taste & I usually love BBQ. I think if you didn't taste the BBQ sause it would have been better.
