There's something special about a man sharing moms recipe's. It makes a mom proud. Good job, recipe looks wonderful.

Nice, simple, to the point, no loud music, no sassy catch phrases or unnecessary things! Just no b/s get to the point kind of video and recipe. This is how it SHOULD be done! Props to you Greg you are a good ole boy the world needs more people like you. Thank you for your video and recipe from Phoenix Arizona! :)

For those who have always wondered what the spices combination used in the beef stew flavoring packs are it's : Salt & pepper, onion powder, paprika, celery seed, dried basil, oregano, rosemary, garlic & parsley and a little Cayenne pepper. My mum used V8 in her stews also. It adds a wonderful flavor. She also added a tin of stewed tomatoes & a tablespoon of tomato paste. Rather than using flour to thicken as many do she used cornstarch because it doesn't alter the flavor. I make this stew now and my family has always loved it. Of course mine is a garden sink type.. any leftover or needing to be used veggies go into the pot along with the staples.

Loved the simplicity of this... You didn’t waste our time watching you chop vegetables, or cutting & flouring the meat. You trusted that we just “get it”. Nice and laid back, concise, succinct, easy to follow = relaxing. Thank you!

Dear Greg, I am quite old and remember when mom was making a beef stew back in 1945. I was playing outside with my brother and still recall the fantastic fragrance (smell) of mom's stew. I am 85 and made a stew for my middle-aged son the other day and he loved it.

When I was a kid this was peasant food and mom made it quite often using cheap cuts of beef.Today there ARE no cheap cuts of beef and it is a gourmet meal.Great job!

We used to have a crock pot years ago an 8 quart now we have a 4 quart. Used to do beef broth and saw yours for V8 never thought about it. Making this Tuesday. Your recipe is exactly mine, well done.

I work 12 hour shifts and am ALWAYS looking for super easy, hearty, tasty recipes I can prep ahead of time and eat quick when I’m at work. THIS IS PERFECT! Thanks so much - my mouth was watering the entire second half 😁

I followed your recipe to a "T"... Let me first thank you for the upload, as I now have it saved in my phone for future use.. I was really bummed out, only do to not getting anymore than a sample of it.. My family devoured IT !! My wife mentioned the great taste of the tomato base, not knowing exactly what it was, as I prepared it in the early morning hours when everyone was asleep.. It turned out excellent !! I'm going to have to make a larger batch in the future or tear it up while the wife and kids are away !! Thanks again.. It was freaking AWESOME !!

Sitting here at home with Presidents Day off from work. Saw your video and then proceed to make your stew, I even had all the ingredients in my house. It is in the crockpot right now. Thank you so much, on take out for dinner tonight, thank goodness 🥰😁🌻

I've made this a few times before and it turns out perfect! Follow the recipe and u cant go wrong. It's in the crockpot right now and my house smells delicious. Best recipe for stew ever! Thank you for sharing!

The only thing I can see this is missing is a couple bay leaves. The browning of the stew meat is a personal choice. I've made it both ways and each have their advantages. Thanks for the video Greg. You did your mum proud!

"this may be a teaspoon....ohhh who knows" Love it! lol that's exactly how i cook.

Thank you for sharing your mom's recipe. I just made it and it is yummy! Greetings from Poland!

I brown off the meat. But you are right and God Bless your mom for doing her job and you for carrying it on.

WOW....that was easy. Iam a single Dad and I gotta feed two kids so thanks for sharing your Mom's recipe !👍🇺🇸

This looks most excellent and easy. We will try this soon. Right into my CULINARY playlist. Thank you. ROCK ON!!!!!

I love crockpot recipes. That looks really great Greg. Good job

I work full time, 12 hr nights as a critical care RN - I need recipes that are easy to make while I sleep, and can be frozen and heated up quickly when I take my break. This recipe is THE BEST! I’ve already had requests for it - the aroma in the break room is amazing and I feel so lucky I’m the one who’s enjoying it! I added mixed diced sweet peppers and threw in some corn - I’ve always liked corn with gravy 😁 THANK YOU, GREG! Thank your mom for us, too 🤗

Love the simplicity of this plus it looks so darn good. I’m gonna make this . Thanks so much.

THAT is a beautiful and hearty pot of stew! Great texture on the gravy too! Nice cook!

Delicious, thank you so sharing your mother's recipe

Wow...a blast from my past.! This is just the way my grandma use to make it. Brought me right back to my childhood, and going to my grams house after a day of sledding. She always made soups and stews. 😋 I can’t wait to make this. Thank You so much for sharing your mom’s recipe. 👍🏻

Good solid recipe. You can always add a can of beef broth, and saute the floured beef, if you want more flavor. Also, saute the veggies with olive oil for more depth of flavor. Most gals from this time, had no idea of these techniques to make a recipe even better. My mom had the worst watery beef veggie stew, but hey, dad loved it!..but I was always telling her it wasn't rich enough, thick enough, and had little flavor. So I learned to use better ingredients, and techniques when I got older. I never asked my dad to compare them though!!! RESPECT for mom please!!!!

We just had this tonight, phenomenal recipe!! Thanks to you and your mom!!

Cheers to your mom. Looks great and will definitely try your mom’s exact recipe for my family. Thank you

I’m making this tonight! Thanks! The recipe instructions were simple and much more chill than other channels.

*This looks soooo good! I love that it is a simple recipe with wonderful looking results.*

made it over and over again. a winner for our family. thanks for step by step directions.

Great recipe, Greg. As far as those criticizing its simplicity, I'd say firstly that if you feel complication is necessary for something to be good then you're not as much of a foodie as you think you are, and secondly that if you're in a family situation like ours in which everyone works a lot of hours then you view simple and straightforward recipes as a gift. Looking forward to trying this, although I'll probably end up doubling it in order to not have to cook for a couple of days, LOL. Thanks again!

Being over 60 and eating stew since I was a kid, I've had it many times, by a lot of different cooks, just finished a big howl of this and with out a doubt this was the best I ever had, the V8 just makes it the best. Do not scrimp on that, it makes it so much better.

I've been using V8 in stews & soups forever. A great addition that makes sense

I’ve been using this recipe for a couple years now, definitely my favorite!

Wife made the Beet Stew today in the crockpot and it’s a keeper. Very simple t make and has great flavor. Well done Greg!

Great job! How special to have a family recipe. Even when they leave this world their love and spirit stays around in things like this recipe. Simple and to the point! I'll be trying this recipe soon.

What a wonderful fall/winter recipe. Thank you!!

I LOVED your Mom's recipe!!! Simple...yet satisfyingly DELIOUS

Looks better than some over paid chefs recipes.

This looks good, can't wait to try it! I've been crock pot cooking for many years and love it.

Thank you for sharing I love the simplicity of this great job mom 👍

Greg: "Man oh Man this stew is delicious" I cannot thank you enough-I made it today and I am so pleased with the the way it turned out. I love the way you explain the recipe and how easy it goes together,thanks again!!!!!

Never thought of using V8. Sounds like a good idea

This popped up in my feed the day before I was planning to make beef stew in my Crockpot so I made your recipe. It was wonderful, thank you, and your Mum, for the recipe.

I love using my crockpot and this recipe will be a MUST! Looks so yummy! Nice and hearty! Thank you for sharing! 👍🏼

This is exactly how my mom did it, and many variants. We've used hamburger, added other vegetables. Even added some beef broth and dumplings. If Mom made it, it was always good.

Great recepie. Definitely can make it to your taste. I would add bay leaves. Thank your mom, and thank you for sharing.

We Definately tried this. It's now part of my meal rotation each month. It is awesome. Thank you for sharing.

Great video that's nice and straightforward. Love it! Thanks for taking the time to make it. Much appreciated.

Wow, a boy that listens to his mother! 😉

Thank you the finished product looked delicious.

That looks so good! Im going to give a try. Thank you for sharing.

So simple and looks delicious. I"m going to make this one! Thank you for sharing.

Good job on the recipe! My only comment is on the crock-pot, it is a slow cooker, and not like a regular saucepan cooking on the stove top, so everytime you lift the lid, that adds to your cooking time, as it takes some time to build up the heat inside and get going again, so it is not meant for lifting the lid every 30 minutes or how ever often you do so, that is for a regular on top of the stove top cooking pots, a crock-pot you put every thing in and set the temp and come back many hours later and then test, stir, then eat! I know this is some years older video, but I just wanted to let you know.

Worcestershire sauce, I put that $*** on everything!

I made this yesterday it was so delicious, thank you! I browned the floured beef in olive oil on skillet first. I substituted Worcestershire sauce with A1 steak sauce (watered down a bit) & a little bit of garlic salt (no need reg salt just some pepper) instead of fresh garlic. Also added in peas.

This was freaking AMAZING! It seems so simple, but wow, it has a great flavor!

I love that you don’t have to brown the meat beforehand with this recipe. Very convenient. I’m adding this to my list of freezable meals 🙂

I have a crockpot that I have never used because I just needed some instructions and here they are. I'm going to double up on the carrots and the potatoes and the V8 and add some peas and dried sage and thyme. It will fill the pot I'm sure but now I know to just put it on high and let it do its thing. Tomorrow, I'll finally get it out of the box. I think I have to wash it first. That was putting me off but I'll do it. I hate cooking. This is going to be an "event" for my husband. I hope my son shows up after work. He won't believe his good luck either.

Excellent presentation.from visual to direct simple verbal communication. Your pace is perfect. Thank you.

That looks awesome 👏🏻 and so easy! Definitely going to try this‼️❤️😋

On my next crock pot usage! I will make this!

Greg, that looks magnificent. Beef stew rocks and you nailed it your way. Sure would like to have some of that right now. Great video brother.

I made this last week and it was seriously delicious! My kiddos loved it and even asked for a second serve. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us :)

Video looks great! Easy to follow and straight to the point. Exactly what we need. Thank you

Thanks so much for this recipe. I put it together this morning and came back in the afternoon. It was perfect. I didn't have the V8 juice, so I substituted tomato paste and beef broth. By the way, I love your videos.

Thank you, Greg and to your mother also. I plan to make a pot of your stew right after Christmas with some homemade crusty sourdough dough bread!

WHAT A FANTASTIC RECIPE ,SIMPLE TO FOLLOW , THE V8 JUICE GENIUS TOUCH ........ NOW THAT'S GOOD COOKING , THANK YOU 👍😃

Great video, I'm going to give this a try, thank you for the upload.

" that's maybe a teaspoon. Who knows " this guy is so funny

Love love love this recipe, I make it all the time! Thank you for sharing!

Greg, as you certainly know, never underestimate the flavor of V-8 it really makes things happen, just like in your moms beef stew recipe. I like cooking with this quintessential V-8 juice in many of my recipes. I would say this beef stew looks pretty much spot on. Nice!

I can't wait to try this tomorrow. :-) Two things I wanted to share. For anyone who doesn't have V-8 brand, canned vegetable juice may be available, just called something else, or tomato juice with celery salt to season could also work. My first slow cooker meal finished just before bedtime, because you add about 20 minutes to your cooktime each time you take off the lid. No one told me this beforehand. The longer that roast took, the more times I checked on it!

Nice, thank you for making it simple and straight to the point.

This looks so good! Can’t wait to try this recipe.

Looks good.good cold weather meal.

Ideally - sear the meat quickly over high heat in a little oil. This keeps in the juices.

I’ve made this 3 or 4 times since I found your recipe here. Man, oh man, is it good!

💜 Love this recipe. Simple and straight forward. Thankyou.😁

This looks to good not to try ! Definitely going to be making this very soon. Great recipe:)

great video will try this tomorrow god bless mums!

Just tried this - EXCELLENT. THANK YOUR MOM!

Thank you for sharing. I'll be making this as Fall approaches. I love simple to the point recipes as they taste the best.
