I followed the recipe exactly and the stew turned out great! The beef was tender and the cranberries added a nice tartness. I served it with mashed potatoes and it was a perfect meal.

I made this stew in my slow cooker and it turned out great! The beef was fall-off-the-bone tender and the broth was so flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This stew was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of cranberries by half.

I'm not a huge fan of cranberries, but I decided to give this stew a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The cranberries added a subtle sweetness and tartness that really complemented the beef. I will definitely be making this again.

This stew was easy to make and so delicious! I used ground beef instead of beef cubes, and it turned out great. The cranberries added a nice tartness that balanced out the richness of the stew.
