Slow Cooked Italian Stew (Crock Pot) image

Have always been a fan of slow cooked meals and with my new crock pot, I'm equiped to try some new ones. The original recipe comes from "The Slow Cooker Bible" and includes my intended modifications. As I have not yet tried this dish, feedback is especially welcome.

I've made this stew several times and it's always a hit. The leftovers are even better the next day. I highly recommend this recipe!

This stew is the perfect comfort food. It's hearty, flavorful, and easy to make. I love that I can just throw everything in the slow cooker and let it cook all day. I always get rave reviews when I make this dish.

This recipe was a disaster! The stew was watery and the meat was dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a huge fan of stews, but this one was actually pretty good. The meat was tender and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again.

This stew was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland and the meat was a little tough. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the stew turned out great! The meat was tender and the sauce was flavorful. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was a hit with my family.

This stew was incredibly flavorful and comforting. The beef was fall-apart tender and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. I loved the addition of the red wine and herbs, which gave the stew a rich and complex flavor. I will definitely be making
