It was great! Besides the fact that I used a barbeque sauce that I had on hand; which was a honey sauce it made the dish a lil' sweeter than we would have liked. It was great other than that!

This recipe was good, but the sauce had an off taste. I'm not sure if it was the bbq sauce or the dressing but I would not make this sauce again. (The rest of the stew was yummy though!)

I would probably eliminate the BBQ when making it again but my husband did get seconds.

This recipe smelled great while it was cooking, however the taste was very disappointing! The meat and veggies were very tender and juicy, but the sauce/gravy was not good at all. I would not suggest this recipe!

I wanted to use my new Crock Pot so I searched for recipes and found this one. It was ok, but not something I would make again.

I don't know what it was, but the flavor was off here. My family also agreed with this. The meat was very tender, but the taste wasn't what we liked.

I made this last night; I think I let cook too long though; didn't have any juice left, so I skipped the step of adding the water and the flour at the end, but it was still very tasty and moist!

Well, it made enough that we should have had leftovers, but between me and my boyfriend, we ate it all! Smelled great while it was cooking and was delicious! Great stew recipe for a chilly fall or winter day! Very easy to make!
