I used to make this on the stove over very low heat, but since I got a crockpot, I use that. This is good served over white or brown rice.

My whole family really enjoyed this. I made it exactly as written minus the raisins. My meat was very tender but not shredded. Perfect blend of flavors. I served this over rice with vegetables on the side. Thanx for posting this; my house smelled wonderful all day. I'll make this again.

    This stew is a lot sweeter than our traditional stew is but that may be because I added one carrot to the stew and a bit less onions than the recipe called for. I was a bit disappointed that the meat was sort of shredded rather than in chunks also but all in all it was a good dinner which we served with Kansas Gal Biscuits Kansas Gal Biscuits. Thanks for sharing!

    This was very easy to make, and DH loved the taste. I used yellow onions that I sliced thick. Thank you!

    I made this as a take-home meal for my DS, I actually thought that he would have two meals out of it, but it has already been devoured totally and given high reviews!. I did increase pretty much all the ingredients, and added in some dried oregano. This is absolutely delicious, please do not omit the raisins, it really makes this dish! I plan on trying this with pork also! thanks echo!...Kitten
