Nancy Lindahl's Hearty Sweet and Sour Beef Stew image

Here is a crock pot stew that I found published in the Minneapolis Tribune many years ago. After you brown the meat and put every thing together, it cooks by itself. I have never met Nancy, but I thank her every time the aroma of this meal in a pot fills my kitchen. It serves at least 4 hungry people and left over's can be refrigerated for several days. After cooking all day, it still retains it's sweet/sour characteristics without either a burned taste or the washed out blandness that often requires more seasoning when served.

This recipe was a disaster. The sauce was too thin and the beef was dry.

The beef was a little tough. I think I overcooked it.

The stew was a bit bland. I added some extra spices to give it more flavor.

This stew was a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of brown sugar next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. I had some leftover flank steak and it worked perfectly.
