Seriously Simple Beef Stew

My mother used to make the best beef stew and I didn't know until older that she used a can of cream of tomato soup in it. Now that I've made this, I like the BBQ sauce a lot. Will definitely make this again.

So easy and delicious. I forgot to add the A1 and didn't miss it. I added it to the left overs and I liked it better without. A definite make again.

tasty, i think the A-1 may not be needed! but very good! will make again L:)

If you like traditional beef stew this recipe is not for you. I followed some of the other recommendations by adding the onion soup mix and flour. I only added half the A1 which was still too much. I cooked the veggies for almost 2 hours and they still did not cook all the way. I did not care for the flavor and I would not make this again.

This was very east to make, that was not the problem. I am sure if you like bar-b-que beef stew you will love it. It was not inedible, but I am throwing the copy I make in the trash! Eck!!!!

Thanks for everyone who posted previous reviews. I used several different ideas and I think it turned out great. My husband loved it - he would give it 5 stars. I added 4 Tbsp of flour (I didn't level it off), 1/2 package of onion mix (I had a 1/2 left over from something else - probably would be good with an entire package), and I cut the A1 to 1/8 of a cup. I tasted the A1 but it wasn't overpowering.

This was an easy recipe to fix and tasted good, but I like the old fashioned beef stew better.

if I made this again I would add a package of onion soup mix instead of the A1.

Added a bit of flour to thicken, but all I tasted was the A1. Probably would have been much better had I left that out.

If you're looking for a traditional beef stew this isn't it. I thought the barbecue would be a nice change of pace but I didn't like it.
