My roommates loved and requested this recipe again. Very easy and makes the house smell fantastic after comming home from a long day at 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.

The vinagrette adds a nice twist!

This is my absolute favorite meal to make! It takes ten to fifteen minutes to get it in the slow cooker, then 8 hours later, I have a delicious, hearty stew! I highly recommend this recipe.

This is a delicious Stew. While I may have left it cooking too long, it still is very tasty.

My family loved this recipe. I used about 3 maple bacon, and used a little honey bbq sauce. I did not have beef broth so I just used water, turned out great, everything was perfect. I did add some diced green onion also... loved it... Thank you for sharing

My whole family loved this! I did this with a roast and not actual stew meat. We didn't have any of the problems/issues others did. There was like no dressing taste, and the BBQ sauce wasn't overpowering, it just added nicely to it.
