What You Need

lb. boneless beef round steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/4

cup KRAFT Lite Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing

Tbsp. GREY POUPON Dijon Mustard

carrots, peeled, sliced

large red potato, cut into 1-inch cubes

fresh mushrooms, sliced

cloves garlic, minced

can (14.5 oz.) Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained

1/4

cup flour

1/4

cup water

pkg. (12 oz.) whole wheat egg noodles, uncooked

It's for dipping and dunking and mixing-upping. And yes, for salad too.

Make It

COOK meat, in batches, in nonstick skillet on medium-high heat 4 to 5 min. or until evenly browned, stirring frequently. Place in slow cooker.

MIX dressing and mustard; pour over meat. Top with next 5 ingredients; cover with lid.

COOK on LOW 7 to 8 hours (or on HIGH 4 to 5 hours). About 15 min. before stew is done, cook noodles as directed on package, omitting salt.

MIX flour and water; stir into stew. Cook, covered, 5 min. or until sauce is slightly thickened; stir before serving. Serve over noodles.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Note

Serve half now, then cool remaining half and spoon into 4 freezerproof containers. Store in freezer to keep on hand for a night when you don't feel like cooking. Place in refrigerator the night before to thaw, then reheat in microwave or on the stove just before serving.

Exceptionally yummy stew! I left out the mustard and mushrooms. This stew was super simple to make, was full of big, delicious flavors, and even my kids loved it! A hearty meal served over noodles or on it's own. Two thumbs up! Will be adding this to our regular dinner menu!

Great recipe.. i added seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic, and onion) when browning the meat. I also added seasoning with the veggies. i did not add the flour/water mix as there was no sauce to thicken.. it was very tasty i am making it again tomorrow and will add beef broth for some sauce :)

this was very easy to make, i did not use water though and used beef broth instead but it was very favorful the only thing i may have did wrong was too much beef broth or left in crock pot too long a little mushy but other than that would try again.

Totally lacked flavor! Added celery, onions and beef stock instead of water...left out mushrooms and toms!!!! Ugh!

Did not like the flavor of this recipe, had a strange sweetness that did not go good with the mixture of vegetable and beef, ended up throwing out

Very easy to make-I might add a bit more dressing, mustard and spices to give the stew a little more zip.

I didn't get to eat it, but my husband really liked it. He said everything had good flavor, even the mushrooms. I may make again and try it myself.

Not a big fan of this recipe. Lacks flavour. I ended up adding soya sauce to boost flavour.

Very good,added more water with the tomatoes, also celery and onions. The Balsamic dressing gives it a very good flavor. For sure will make again. Everyone loved it. Its a keeper. thanks.
