Taste was excellent and the aroma was just overpowering where I wanted to eat the whole pot.
I love this recipe! I like stew, but this recipe is outstanding. Thank you.
I made this on a Sunday afternoon. I substituted Killians Irish Red for the Guinness and let it simmer for three hours. The stew was fantastic. My 76-year-old mother-in-law said that it was my best ever!
This was too good. I had my doubts adding the brewski, but man it was delicious!!
Quite tasty. Made a few substitutions since I’m a vegetarian. Morning Star crumbles in palce of the beef, veggie broth in place of the beef broth. Also added several handfuls of kale for some added color.
