Special Slow-Cooked Beef image

This hearty entree is easy to prepare for Sunday dinner. While the beef is slow cooking, the cook has lots of time to attend to the other details. With mashed potatoes on the side, it's comfort food for the cool months ahead. -Juli George, Grandville, Michigan

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my beef turned out tough and the sauce was watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe was just okay. The beef was tender but the sauce was a little too sweet for my taste. I'll probably try a different recipe next time.

I wasn't impressed with this recipe. The beef was tough and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit with my family. The beef is always tender and juicy, and the sauce is perfect. I like to add a little bit of Worcestershire sauce to the sauce for extra flavor.

I wasn't sure about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The beef was fall-apart tender and the sauce was so rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The beef is always fork-tender and the sauce is amazing. I like to add a little bit of red wine to the sauce for extra flavor.

This is my favorite slow cooker beef recipe! The meat is always fall-apart tender and the sauce is rich and flavorful. I like to serve it over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
