This recipe was a HOMERUN in my household. Everyone loved it. We had enough leftovers to take for lunch and it still tasted just as good. It tasted great!!!!

I have made this stew several times and it is always a hit! I add the vegetables about 15 minutes sooner than the recipe suggests and they are nice and tender but not mushy. We generally skip the noodles too.

My family really enjoy this delicious low fat stew. It did not require a of prep time, which works well for me after I arrive home from work.

Had to replace the noodles with mashed potatoes for authenticity. I also think next time I'll only use two medium potatoes instead of three, also maybe add anther carrot. Definately need to give the veggies more time to stew to soften them up a bit.

This recipe was very good. My husband really enjoyed. The only additional thing that I added to the recipe was fresh rosemary from my garden.

It was excellent. The only thing is that I would add spices in the stew.

Excellent! When I made the dish, I added one more potato, 2 more carrots and even though it did not call for it, 3 stalks of celery. Yummy!!!

I loved this recipe. I agree with all of the comments about adding the vegetables at the beginning of the simmer time. I have made it both ways and the potatoes were not done when I put them in 30 mins. later. I also doubled the recipe and added one packet of the Garlic and Herb and one packet of the Zesty Italian dressing and it had a little more flavor. My husband is a picky eater and does not like onions or tomatoes, so I left out the onion and added crushed tomatoes and it still was wonderful. Best of all, I made enough to feed an army for under $15.00.

This is a GREAT stew. Anyone who loves stew would enjoy this. I did however add zuccinni and celery to it, when I made it the second time. This is great not only for winter, but summer to.
