I made this recipe today, and it was very good. I even had all the ingredients on hand. I did add cut up parsnips to the stew. I served steamed broccoli on the side. We enjoyed the stew and I will certainly make it again. It was different from my usual stew recipe. Delicious !

I have to admit bacon, Italian dressing, and BBQ sauce doesn't sound great, but this recipe is really good. It is super quick to make and our family loves it. Enjoy

My son is such a finicky eater and he enjoyed this stew very much; we all did. It's a really simple recipe with a great taste.

Far too sweet. Think the major problem was the BBQ sauce. Recipe done exactly as per instructions, also the ingredients. Found the meat although tender had a grainy, not succulant texture.

I followed the recipe exactly & it was horrible. Maybe if you switch ingredients like a lot of others did, it might taste good.
