So delicious and EASY! I bought stew meat, which was 80 cents cheaper per pound at the time, and it was already cut into chunks. Talk about easy! I was shocked at how tender the meat ended up after such a short cooking time. I added about 15 min to the covered cooking time, so my 45 min was actually an hour. We ate it over no-yolk egg noodles, and my family LOVED it!

This was pretty good and everyone liked it. Couldnt find the garlic and herb dressing they were talking about so I used mcormick's beef stew seasoning and added some garlic salt. next time I may cook in crock pot to get the meat a little more tender.

Traditional Irish stew uses lamb, not beef. I prefer beef and this is a very good recipe.

This is an easy fast recipe I added to our St. Patrick's Day meal about 3 years ago to get 2 of my sisters who hate corned beef to join the rest of our Irish family for dinner. It was a huge hit. I made a triple batch (as there are 27 of us total with spouses and kids). I had to make 6 batches every year since.

I didn't feel like there was enough flavor. I cooked it in a crock pot all day even though you didn't have to. Didn't use the noodles and leftovers tasted better because veggies soaked up some juice over night. If you don't like it try adding some cheddar cheese. It made it taste a little bit better.

This was really super! I didn't have the garlic and herb mix so I used a pkg. of dry onion soup mix and then added some garlic and herb no salt mix to it. Then I added frozen peas and corn in at the end and heated them up. I also left out the noodles; enough starch with the potatoes. My whole family ate it up!

This really is a good recipe. I've made it twice, just as the recipe is written. Second time we had it, we didn't even have it w/ noodles. It was enough on it's own w/ a salad and dinner roll.
