It was INCREDIBLE and so very, very easy. The whole family loved it. I thought it was even better the second day after it had a chance to settle into itself a bit...some things just taste better the next day! This one is a keeper for our family; perfect on cold, busy days! Thank you!! We made the Taco Soup this week in honor of the Super Bowl. It was INCREDIBLE and so very, very easy.

The flavors were simply incredible. The extra time that it takes to sear the beef beforehand makes an incredibly rich, delicious stew. I did add some oil to the pan when searing because my stew meat was so lean. I got lots of nice browned bits on the bottom of the pan after the searing, so I took advantage of the concentrated flavor bits (I'm a Food Network junkie, too!) and deglazed the pan with the beef broth to add to the slow cooker. Incredible! My DH raved about this, and gave me an 11 on our 1-10 dinner rating scale! It's a keeper!! YIPEE! Thank you!

One of my friends just had a baby (her third) so she has everything she needs and really really appreciated this meal. Our church parent group offers meals to any new mom we hear about.
