I am 84 years old and lost my husband so I don’t cook anymore. After watching Rachel’s video on the beef stew I just had to try it. I was fixing for seven people so I had to add more beef broth and a few more vegetables. It didn’t come out as thick as Rachel‘s but I added some cornstarch, mixed with water, and it helped a lot. Just a note for those who are going to try this. Make sure your potatoes are not too small or they will get mushy. It was a big hit and I have leftovers to enjoy the next day. I watch her every day just for the enjoyment of watching her cook, and how she enjoys it. I also fixed corn bread to go with it, and it was a hit.
I’m 48 and lost my husband of 20 yrs, four years ago. My sympathy goes out for your loss❤ I wish no one had to go through it.😢I loved making his meals from scratch and lots of Love. I would always place his food on his plate like a fancy over the top restaurant. Mile high shredded cheese, assortment of sauces, the parsely on the side of your plate with the beet slice.😂 😊He loved his desserts. He would look over at me or he say from another room “ I want sumpin” in a cute coy little voice. I miss that so, so much! He was always appreciative and would tell everyone about it. I just started watching her and it has sparked my love for cooking as well😊
I’m 62 years old and watching you is making me a better cook. Retirement has given me an opportunity to bless others with the abundance of my kitchen. Thank you for your step by step videos and your expert tips.
I’m 87 years old and enjoy your recipes. I live with my daughter and her husband so I don’t get to do much cooking, but things are going to change soon because I am going to start making some of these recipes. They all sound delicious.
I have gone to many other cooking sites with other cooks, BUT when I “discovered you” I was “ hooked!!”Your step by step teaching techniques are right on point! You dont get “cutsie” or “Joke around” to hold our attention, You speak and from teach from the heart! And you verbalize such respect for your family, especially “My Ron” !Love when you causally mention anout how the weather is at the moment, your plans of going to Texas etc. you dont overdo it..And when you taste your food, the expressions you make! That lil “Rachel dance”when you really love the taste, OMG! Love it, you make me smile, Wish you were my neighbor to have coffee with you and just “Chat!”I live in N. Azusa, Ca. Don’t ever change your Style! Con Mucho Amor! MsCam
Hi Rachael. I am so thrilled to have found you & my best friend in Vt. agrees. I forward most of your recipes to her. We are in our 80’s, good cooks as well, & always eager to try new recipes. Just love your chicken salad with the grapes etc & made it several weeks ago for a non-cook friend who thought she died & went to Heaven. Keep sending them with your 💓. Lorrie T
Rachael, You are the best. I just recently found your channel an feel as if we are old friends. I will be doing this recipe. I too feel from scratch cooking is the best. There aren't any boxes of food or pre done items in my kitchen. My husband is a little bit hard to feed. This, I'm sure will hit the spot. Thank you.
Hi, Rachel! I made your Old Fashioned Beef Stew yesterday. I usually make beef stew in my pressure cooker, but I will have to say that cooking it slowly was worth the wait! It was "over the top" delicious! I love watching your videos and plan to make some more of your dishes! I am a retired teacher and you do such a great job demonstrating your recipes and explaining "why" you do things a certain way! Keep up the great work!
I don't think I've ever enjoyed watching someone cook as much as this video. I like how you have moments of silence, just letting the viewer hear the sizzle or bubble of pots on the stove. It's relaxing as well as informative. Thank you.
Rachel, you are such a gift to me! My mother passed away when I was young and I never learned to cook. Every single recipe I've made from you, has turned out delicious! Your step by step videos are such a help. Thank you for being you! I hope you continue to make many more videos!!!
I also lost my Mum early on and I told Rachael the same in gratitude! I feel like my own Mum is showing me through Rachael’s love and gifts of cooking!💚🌟😍
I am French and used to cook a lot, not so much after I lost my husband. I watched so many shows from a lot of great chefs, but I think Rachel beats them all. I appreciate all the flavors she adds to her food and her methods. Her French onion soup method is the best in my book. She sure loves food and it shows👏💕
Hi Rachel! I made your old fashioned beef stew, step by step, just as you showed us! It was so delicious and flavorful and 'My Michael' was in beef stew heaven! Thank you for your beautiful talent to instruct and teach. I am so happy that I found you! It has been my pleasure to watch your videos and so much fun to try your recipes! I regularly make both your salsas, and they have become staples in my refrigerator! Thank you!
She's so easy to understand. I love the way she is so down to earth...even to the point of talking with her mouth full and sucking the gravy off her fingers. Now that I've discovered Rachel I'll be watching more of her videos.
Ive been cooking beef stew wrong my whole life! After watching your video, I learned so many new tips on making this homemade comfort food more delicious. What I like best about your cooking videos is that you explain the WHY part of your preparations and techniques. This helps keep the final result mistake proof and a meal worry of praise. Glad I found you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to make real food. There are so many fancy recipes on YT, but yours are the real deal. I love your videos! Because of you, I've made some delicious dinners!
Rachel I just love the way you cook. I’ve been a good home cook for around 40 years, but for the past 20 or so, due to my busy lifestyle, I’ve been using shortcuts, readymade ingredients and packet mixes. I seem to have lost my mojo. No more! I’m retired now with lots of time and your recipes take me right back to the beginning, when I made everything from scratch, with passion. You use tried and tested methods, combined with years of experience. And that special ingredient - cooking with love. Thanks so much for inspiring me again Rachel. I’m hooked on your channel and am remembering how nice it is to cook from scratch. I started by watching your cabbage rolls, but it’s now midnight and I’ve watched five more videos lol. I’m obsessed. You have a wonderful style of presenting and clearly a genuine love of good food. You’ve made another fan and I’ll be watching everything you post. I’ve been watching UA-cam videos for years, but have never felt the need to comment before now. Keep up the good work 💖
I just tried this recipe tonight! My husband has been saying it’s the best stew he ever had anywhere and had two servings. I didn’t have bacon grease so used butter instead and used 3/4 cup red wine plus 5 cups of the broth instead of the broth alone. It was to die for and the meat was fall apart tender. All I can say is wow! The best ever! Thank you, Rachel!
Absolutely love your beef stew Rachel. I cook it all the time and my family love it. There's never any leftovers. What I love most about your cooking is the step by step methods/techniques as to why you do what you do to get the best results. Thanks Rachel.
You really make me miss my Mom. She would make a huge pot of beef stew and call me and siblings to bring our pot to get our share of her cooking. She loved cooking and providing us with her home cooked meals, whether it's this, meatloaf, ham hocks and beans or whatever was on her menu. Awesome video. Now it's time to go and get the ingredients for this beef stew which I haven't had in years.
I love the way you teach ❤ You should have a cooking show on TV. The way you cook, using good old fashion homemade from scratch techniques is the way my mom and grandma Lizzie taught me how to cook. Using herbs and flavor full spices is what really gives the food such delicious taste. Your style of cooking comes from the heart. I love to cook, and when my children were little I cooked from my heart, just like my mom and grandma♥️ Thank you for sharing your love of cooking with all of your subscribers😊
love watching all your videos, I'm 70 years old and I've been cooking adleast 45 years pretty much and I still learn about cooking by watching your videos, my mom always said when you cook, you cook out of love and you do that in every video... I can't stop thanking you for sharing and inspiring me ......
I made this tonight for “my Richard” and our house full of children... It was AMAZING!!!!! My husband said it was the best beef stew he has ever eaten and that is huge because he is a big foodie. Thanks, Rachel!!! This is going in the recipe box to be used many, many times for years to come! DELICIOUS!!!! The layering of flavors is out of this world. So thankful I have enough to have some for lunch tomorrow.
Rachel, your such a beautiful person, I just love all the patience you have in explaining step by step, and explaining why you have to do it that way! You should be a home Economics teacher!
I'm a 50 three-year-old widow and I actually love to cook and I am making this right now for the first time. I have 45 minutes before my last hour and a 1/2. 😊 I'm midway . Smells yummy. Ihope to have food for the week. I'm excited to try it. Thank you, Rachel. I all alone in the world
I always enjoy watching you in the kitchen. Well done! I still enjoy cooking at age 73. Miss my family that live far away - cook full meals for myself- even had turkey with all the trimmings before thanksgiving! I really enjoyed the leftovers. It,s hard to stop cooking when you enjoy it so much! I have an amazing amount of kitchen gadgets and supplies - hope my kids will use them when I’m gone.
Love the tip about not overcrowding the pan. Never knew that in regards to the meat releasing all that water. Now I know I will try my hand at Beef Stew again! Thank you Rachel 😊
Rachel, Thank you. Life can be hard. Settle down to prayer; then afterwards, watch your cooking videos to unwind and relax. Thank you again. GOD BLESS YOU & YOURS ALWAYS.
(Light bubble = a simmer.) Rachel, I absolutely love your channel. You explain everything so simple and perfectly without over-chatting. You stay on topic! I really can relax and focus when I listen to you. Other channels just tire me. I love listening to you explain your cooking (even if I already know how to make the entree).
Oh Rachel, your Beef Stew is just like my Dear late Mum cooked In Scotland. It takes me back all those yrs. (She was a Farmers wife, we had a Dairy & Beef Farm + cropping.) She kindly taught me to cook too. On top of her Stews she also made Dumplings which were yummy. I must tell you this Tip “ Mum cooked her potatoes separately, after draining she put Some butter in + a spoonful of Oatmeal + Parsley and gave the pot a good shake. ( please try it sometime 🤫) “ My sister & I loved to Scrape the Bottom of the Potato Pot twas just Yummy in our Tummies” “ Mum also made Scottish Clootie Dumpling, for our Birthdays & Black Bun for New Year + Shortbread + Was a Super Baker of Cakes & Scones 👏👏 I just so love to watch your Cooking too, as does the rest of the World 😋😋 👏👏👏
Reminds me of when i used to do stew, also the same slow way but you've added quite a few addditions that i never did, the tomato products. I'm 81 and eager to try it your way. Love the preciseness of your way of cooking. I feel comfortable with it and eager to try. Thanks🤗
Hi, Rachel! My husband and I both love Mexican food, but we live in a smaller city in Northern Ontario. The only Mexican restaurant we have here is Taco Bell, so we have nothing authentic. I have been looking for a Mexican cooking channel, and yours popped up. This beef stew recipe showed up first, so I tried it. It is the most amazing beef stew I have ever made! My husband loved it. I knew immediately that you know how to cook! I just love your gentle and calm manor, and you explain each step. The next thing I am going to try is the Jalepeno Popper Quiche. You make it all look so simple and easy! I sometimes just watch your channel for the calming affect you have. I look forward to more great recipes, and I will let you know how each one goes for me!
I have made this beef stew twice, making it again this Sunday, my neighbor absolutely loves it, as my husband. Thank you Rachel for sharing your amazing recipes. I always look you up to see what’s cooking in your kitchen.🙂🙂🙂🙂
OMG Rachel, had family over this weekend and made your stew it was a total success everyone just loved your stew. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
Rachel! You turn cooking into art! I watch the patience you have and see how this time and love translates into delicious food! You remind me of my Mama! Thank you! I cant wait to try to make it as good as you have taught us!
Lovely Rachel you bring my cooking up to a much higher level! This beef stew is absolutely scrumptious and the steps and methods you use are so helpful and insightful to a beginner like me. I used to really put the fire to my food, but with the help of videos and the masters like you, the instructive steps which you patiently provide, my patience and confidence have become a real comfort. Everyone I make dinner for, is blown away! Thanks so much for your kind approach and the clarity of your instructive tone is a true joy to listen to and to watch. Thank you for bringing your knowledge and skill to these videos Rachel!!
First I found your cinnamon roll recipe, and now I found a recipe to use my chuck roast, and I have everything to make both. Win, win!! Rachel, I love your channel and the way you cook & teach others. Thank you ☮✝❤
Looks amazing!! With each bite you took, I could taste it. My Auntie Bertha was a fabulous cook and I remember hers. I am 75 now and haven't had a good beef stew in quite a while. Thanks for the memories!!! 🥰
Putting love back in the kitchen! Getting back to family and cooking. Will fill up hearts. And after this year and last, i think we all appreciate your cooking and recipes more.
If I werent a cook and an eater, I would love watching you anyway. Your voice is soothing, you dont bang things around and everything you make looks wonderful! Once again, I want to make some Beef Stew soon! Nothing tastes better to me than beef in a gravy. YUM!!
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and taking the time to show us each step! This is so close to the beef stew that I make. But now that it's just my Mom and me I can't cook the things that I love. She doesn't eat onions, celery and much more. But I am definitely going to make this with a pot of rice very soon. 😃 Thank you again and God bless you!🙏🍽❤💥
I have your old fashioned beef stew simmering away here in southeast Louisiana. In the past, I have only used the “beef stew packets” to make it. This is smelling delicious. We will be eating it over rice. I love your videos. You take the time to show and explain everything. I made your chicken salad last week and had some friends over. We all loved it. You are very much appreciated!
Oh Rachel!!! Your beef stew is to die for. It is amazing and you make it look so good when you eat it. I watch you every night before I go to bed and it just totally relaxes me! Thanks for sharing it with your viewers 🤗🤗🤗
Hi Rachel, I love your cooking instructions and I like the way you color coordinate what you are wearing with your aprons! You win the prize for cooking great and being fashionable!
I watched several videos on this because I was interested in learning how to do this. I really like how you use the veggies at the middle and end of your recipe. Interesting. I didn't see the other channels doing this. I prefer this method although I will probably add wine to mine as well. I like how you cooked the beef as well with the flour.
Thank you for helping me remember many things my father taught me to do. He loved teaching me and always wanted me to watch, not touch even when I was an adult.
I used to make old fashioned beef stew. But I used left over roast beef. Because I honestly just forgot how my grandma Hilda had taught me to make it. Watching you ; made me remember!! I'll definitely make it this weekend. It's mother's day this Sunday so I know my daughter will appreciate it! Thank you Rachel! Oh, I love seeing the enjoyment you get when tasting the food!
This beef stew looks totally amazing. Cannot wait to make it! It’s more complex than my simpler recipe, but can’t wait to try adding the additional ingredients you use..like the thyme and rosemary, tomato paste and tomatoes. I’m sure it is unbelievably yummy! Thank you so much Rachel!💕
Rachel, I ate every bite along with you. I could almost taste it and it was just delicious. I wish I was there to eat with you. Thanks, very satisfied.
I am 88 yrs. young and this is the way my grandmother cooked. I want this stew - right now, I have watched all of your cooking shows and I love them so much because it is like standing on a chair in her kitchen and loving whatever she was cooking. When the family gathered for a Sunday dinner or a holiday meal the table was always set with her china, which I have, white linens, etc. There are special things I remember such as her breaded tomatoes, always fried chicken or some type of beef and fluffy mashed potatoes with melted butter. Usually for dessert was her special white cake with warm lemon sauce. Oh how I miss her and her Irish stories - some were a little scary. Your shows remind me of her. Thank you Rachel.
Whenever I want to make a dish right, I turn to you, Rachel. True down-home cooking. I seared the beef yesterday and I'm going to follow your recipe for the remainder today. Will post how it came out. Thank you!!
This was released 3 years ago, but I needed it today! Rachel, you never disappoint. Thank you for taking the time to help us come up with new ideas. ❤️👍🍲
Made this today......exactly, perfectly, just-like-that, and got rave reviews from my family, the best tasting stew EVER! Your recipes can make even the worst cook look good! Love your videos!
Sooo, I cooked with Rachel today. I literally watched the video and did it. It came out delicious !!! It didn’t come out as thick as hers and I added corn starch, but it was good anyways. Everyone liked it at my home ❤️.
I love watching your videos, you have such great experience in your cooking skills! You have taught me to be a better cook and I'm 64! Your voice is so soothing and sweet to listen too!
I totally jive with your cooking preferences and style. I grew up in SW Nebraska farm family eating hearty meals…beef, noodles, potatoes, cabbage rolls, stuffed bell peppers, homemade bread, homemade desserts. Also in that area, Hispanic immigrants started moving in. So I was exposed to enchiladas, tacos, chorizo, burritos. Another twist to my palate is my Appalachian Grandma, I love fried potatoes, soup beans, cornbread, pork chops, chicken & dumpling, chow chow, fried green tomatoes, fresh veggies, & sour kraut.
Love watching you cook, can't wait to try the beef stew, you explained very well & make it look so easy step by step. Could watch & listen to you all day.🤗
Hi Rachael, I’m not sure when I came across one of your cooking videos but I’m so ever glad that I did.. I subscribed to your channel and let me tell you, that after watching you take your time to show your viewers step by step on how you make your dishes I’m happy to see the love 💕 you put into making your dish. I appreciate how you take your time explaining everything. My mom used to cook like you, but I no longer have her to show me. You’re awesome and sweet and most of all a great cook. I truly love all your aprons you wear. Thank you so much I appreciate you..🌹💕
Love your neat and step-by-step instructions, not to mention your mix of recipes. Keep up the good work and thank you for your encouragement to all us cooks!!!
Rachael I love how you start out by posting all of the ingredients and also showing them and explaining them. I can't wait to try this recipe and love how you get the flavor with fresh ingredients instead of this envelope packets that are not as healthy. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and your talents. Btw...I love your apron too!!
What a pleasure to watch you make this stew. I can’t wait to try it. I’m 82 and always looking to better my game. I like how neat and relaxed you are while filming- I know you love what you do. Thank You for sharing 💕
I have been looking for a delicious old fashioned Beef Stew recipe, so thank you for sharing this one. It was JUST in time! I plan to make it this Thursday and pair with a french baguette. Please keep the hearty recipes coming! Have a wonderful day!
Thank you so much!! So happy your gonna have it in Thursday, yummy, the baguette should be delicious with it, it is hearty and perfect for this time of year.❤
COMPLIMENTS TO THE CHEF!!!!! BRAVO LOOKS FANTASTIC... THANK YOU... OLD TIME COOKING WITH LOTS OF FLAVOUR I LUV THIS COOKING WITH HOMEMADE BROTH... ALSO COOK BROTH... DELICIOUS
Absolutely love your videos. I am 70 years old and I feel like I'm just beginning to learn good cooking skills. I am also learning to cook with a variety of recipes rather than the same old ingredients.
Rachael, that is the prettiest stew I have ever seen. I’m not kidding. It looked like it was absolute perfection. Thank you for the instruction and the recipe. People need this stew recipe in their lives. They don’t even know what they are missing.
Rachel my husband and I just finished eating your old fashion stew recipe and I cannot tell you enough how good it was it was excellent you are a great cook so far every recipe that I have tried of yours has not been a disappointment now my next recipe I’m going to try of yours is the sausage and egg and biscuits gravy cannot wait to do it thanks again for all the great recipes and I love watching you cook I spread the word to my family how good your recipes are thanks so much
Yes family father and mother son dance school 🎒🏫🏫🏫🏫🎒🎒🎒🎒🏫🏫🏫🏫🎒🏫 team partner partners and customers and partners and customers and partners 😜😜 let us help you ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
Rachel, I have to say a big Thank You for this recipe. I've never had a 'special' beef stew recipe until this one. After making and enjoying just recently, I shared with my daughter and her husband - (he works in the meat industry) - both just raved over the deliciousness of this recipe. So, many 'thumbs up' on this wonderful recipe. A real Keeper!!
Hi Rachel I love watching you as a child a long time ago I used to watch my baba cooking in the kitchen. It’s like I’m there again when I watch you, I’m from Belfast Northern Ireland but we always went to Montreal to visit my sister and she was there cooking up a storm. So heart warming xxx
This is the best beef stew I've ever made or tasted! I'm thrilled I found your channel. I have a feeling we are going to be exploring a lot of your Mexican dishes. We love Mexican food and your recipes look delicious. I'm making your cinnamon rolls next. This stew is off the charts! TY Rachel 🥰 ☮✝❤
I wish I had been able to watch you when I was younger and didn’t understand the “why’s” of doing things! You are the best cooking show out there. Thank you and I hope you are settling in to your new place.
There has never been, nor will there ever be, anything better than old-fashioned cooked- with-love long simmered homemade dishes! I love your videos. They would be great for new cooks because you explain the reasons behind the techniques, such as using flour to brown. I've been cooking since I was 10, and I'm now 70. You and I cook very much the same way.
I am 84 years old and lost my husband so I don’t cook anymore. After watching Rachel’s video on the beef stew I just had to try it. I was fixing for seven people so I had to add more beef broth and a few more vegetables. It didn’t come out as thick as Rachel‘s but I added some cornstarch, mixed with water, and it helped a lot.

I was so happy to read this, thank you so much for letting me know my friend, I'm glad it was a success. ❤️👍
I’m 48 and lost my husband of 20 yrs, four years ago. My sympathy goes out for your loss❤ I wish no one had to go through it.😢I loved making his meals from scratch and lots of Love.

I just started watching her and it has sparked my love for cooking as well😊
You are wonderful
Lovely yummy
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I tried it and it came out great. My husband loves it with corn muffins 😋
And the Grandfather clock chimes at the end! 💫. Perfect! 💕

My mother passed away a year ago at age 95. She loved to cook and bake. Watching you brings back the memories and comfort of her love of cooking💗
❤⚘
I'm 82 yrs old and I love watching you you don't rush. Your cooking and we seniors just love you
I'm so happy to hear that! Blessings to you ❤️
Hi Rachel 👋 this stew recipe looks delicious 😋 but I don't use bacon fat, so what would be good for me to use ? Please 🙏 let me know 😊
I love that she makes home made everything! No packages no fake ingredients. Love her!
I am French and used to cook a lot, not so much after I lost my husband. I watched so many shows from a lot of great chefs, but I think Rachel beats them all.

She's so easy to understand. I love the way she is so down to earth...even to the point of talking with her mouth full and sucking the gravy off her fingers. Now that I've discovered Rachel I'll be watching more of her videos.
Thank you Rachel, I am 70 years old you just taught me how to make beef stew the right way.

When you tasted that stew, I thought I would die of envy. I can't wait to cook this. Thank you for how carefully you explain your recipes.
I just tried this recipe tonight! My husband has been saying it’s the best stew he ever had anywhere and had two servings. I didn’t have bacon grease so used butter instead and used 3/4 cup red wine plus 5 cups of the broth instead of the broth alone. It was to die for and the meat was fall apart tender.

Absolutely love your beef stew Rachel. I cook it all the time and my family love it. There's never any leftovers. What I love most about your cooking is the step by step methods/techniques as to why you do what you do to get the best results. Thanks Rachel.
So happy you enjoy my channel my friend, thank you so much for your comment. ❤️
❤❤❤
You really make me miss my Mom. She would make a huge pot of beef stew and call me and siblings to bring our pot to get our share of her cooking. She loved cooking and providing us with her home cooked meals, whether it's this, meatloaf, ham hocks and beans or whatever was on her menu. Awesome video. Now it's time to go and get the ingredients for this beef stew which I haven't had in years.
I m not able to find your video or the recipe . Please help as I would like to make your meatloaf also! Thanks
Nice cooking. I like the way it was done.
I love the way you teach ❤ You should have a cooking show on TV. The way you cook, using good old fashion homemade from scratch techniques is the way my mom and grandma Lizzie taught me how to cook. Using herbs and flavor full spices is what really gives the food such delicious taste. Your style of cooking comes from the heart. I love to cook, and when my children were little I cooked from my heart, just like my mom and grandma♥️ Thank you for sharing your love of cooking with all of your subscribers😊
love watching all your videos, I'm 70 years old and I've been cooking adleast 45 years pretty much and I still learn about cooking by watching your videos, my mom always said when you cook, you cook out of love and you do that in every video... I can't stop thanking you for sharing and inspiring me ......
I agree and I'm 71 :-)
Thank you so much for your sweet words, I love cooking with all my heart.❤
I made this tonight for “my Richard” and our house full of children... It was AMAZING!!!!! My husband said it was the best beef stew he has ever eaten and that is huge because he is a big foodie. Thanks, Rachel!!! This is going in the recipe box to be used many, many times for years to come! DELICIOUS!!!! The layering of flavors is out of this world. So thankful I have enough to have some for lunch tomorrow.
Rachel, your such a beautiful person, I just love all the patience you have in explaining step by step, and explaining why you have to do it that way! You should be a home Economics teacher!
P
Yummy
Thank you so much.❤
I'm a 50 three-year-old widow and I actually love to cook and I am making this right now for the first time. I have 45 minutes before my last hour and a 1/2. 😊 I'm midway . Smells yummy. Ihope to have food for the week. I'm excited to try it. Thank you, Rachel. I all alone in the world
Mrs Rachel, you are such a sweet and talented lady! I love watching you enjoy the fruits of your labor. You really do cook with love!
Aww, thank you so much for your words, I am always the happiest when I'm in the kitchen, thank you for telling me.❤
Love your videos
When you taste your food you make it look so good. Would love to see your Ron taste. 😏
Can't wait to try this! You make it looks sooo good. Thanks for sharing 😃
I always enjoy watching you in the kitchen. Well done! I still enjoy cooking at age 73. Miss my family that live far away - cook full meals for myself- even had turkey with all the trimmings before thanksgiving! I really enjoyed the leftovers. It,s hard to stop cooking when you enjoy it so much! I have an amazing amount of kitchen gadgets and supplies - hope my kids will use them when I’m gone.
Love the tip about not overcrowding the pan. Never knew that in regards to the meat releasing all that water. Now I know I will try my hand at Beef Stew again! Thank you Rachel 😊
Rachel, Thank you. Life can be hard. Settle down to prayer; then afterwards, watch your cooking videos to unwind and relax. Thank you again. GOD BLESS YOU & YOURS ALWAYS.
Thank you so much for your sweet words. ❤⚘
(Light bubble = a simmer.) Rachel, I absolutely love your channel. You explain everything so simple and perfectly without over-chatting. You stay on topic! I really can relax and focus when I listen to you. Other channels just tire me. I love listening to you explain your cooking (even if I already know how to make the entree).
Oh Rachel, your Beef Stew is just like my Dear late Mum cooked In Scotland. It takes me back all those yrs. (She was a Farmers wife, we had a Dairy & Beef Farm + cropping.) She kindly taught me to cook too. On top of her Stews she also made Dumplings which were yummy.
I must tell you this Tip “ Mum cooked her potatoes separately, after draining she put Some butter in + a spoonful of Oatmeal + Parsley and gave the pot a good shake. ( please try it sometime 🤫)
“ My sister & I loved to Scrape the Bottom of the Potato Pot twas just Yummy in our Tummies”
“ Mum also made Scottish Clootie Dumpling, for our Birthdays & Black Bun for New Year + Shortbread + Was a Super Baker of Cakes & Scones 👏👏
I just so love to watch your Cooking too, as does the rest of the World 😋😋 👏👏👏
I love seing the comments of all the people who see you everyday as me!!! You makepeople go back to the kitchen with love as you do!!
I really hope so thank you my friend 😊❤️
Reminds me of when i used to do stew, also the same slow way but you've added quite a few addditions that i never did, the tomato products. I'm 81 and eager to try it your way. Love the preciseness of your way of cooking. I feel comfortable with it and eager to try. Thanks🤗
Thank you so much my friend. ❤
I agree wholeheartedly. Rachel is the best.
You're a perfect teacher.... love the detailed instructions and you're blessed with such charisma. Keep up the good work. Xx, Jiji
Hi, Rachel! My husband and I both love Mexican food, but we live in a smaller city in Northern Ontario. The only Mexican restaurant we have here is Taco Bell, so we have nothing authentic. I have been looking for a Mexican cooking channel, and yours popped up. This beef stew recipe showed up first, so I tried it. It is the most amazing beef stew I have ever made! My husband loved it. I knew immediately that you know how to cook! I just love your gentle and calm manor, and you explain each step. The next thing I am going to try is the Jalepeno Popper Quiche. You make it all look so simple and easy! I sometimes just watch your channel for the calming affect you have. I look forward to more great recipes, and I will let you know how each one goes for me!
I love how Rachel tastes and really enjoys her food. 😍
I like how Rachel tastes her cooking and the eye roll. That tells me all I need to know about how delicious it is!
I’m 65 years old. I love your videos. Somehow they comfort me. Thank you for your kindness and for sharing your recipes.
You’re so welcome my friend, I’m so happy to know that you enjoy them, I’m sending you a warm and loving hug. Have a wonderful peaceful day.❤️
I have made this beef stew twice, making it again this Sunday, my neighbor absolutely loves it, as my husband. Thank you Rachel for sharing your amazing recipes. I always look you up to see what’s cooking in your kitchen.🙂🙂🙂🙂
OMG Rachel, had family over this weekend and made your stew it was a total success everyone just loved your stew. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
Rachel! You turn cooking into art! I watch the patience you have and see how this time and love translates into delicious food!
You remind me of my Mama! Thank you! I cant wait to try to make it as good as you have taught us!
❤⚘
Lovely Rachel you bring my cooking up to a much higher level! This beef stew is absolutely scrumptious and the steps and methods you use are so helpful and insightful to a beginner like me. I used to really put the fire to my food, but with the help of videos and the masters like you, the instructive steps which you patiently provide, my patience and confidence have become a real comfort. Everyone I make dinner for, is blown away! Thanks so much for your kind approach and the clarity of your instructive tone is a true joy to listen to and to watch. Thank you for bringing your knowledge and skill to these videos Rachel!!
Rachel love your recipes. You make them with so much love. How you explain every step by step. So sweet. Hugs!
Im 62 as well. I.love watching her cooking..delicious. Im writing these down and i go shopping then.
First I found your cinnamon roll recipe, and now I found a recipe to use my chuck roast, and I have everything to make both. Win, win!! Rachel, I love your channel and the way you cook & teach others. Thank you ☮✝❤
Thank you so much. ❤
Looks amazing!! With each bite you took, I could taste it. My Auntie Bertha was a fabulous cook and I remember hers. I am 75 now and haven't had a good beef stew in quite a while. Thanks for the memories!!! 🥰
Putting love back in the kitchen! Getting back to family and cooking. Will fill up hearts. And after this year and last, i think we all appreciate your cooking and recipes more.
I am 71 and I just learned how to improve my beef stew by watching you! Thank you!
If I werent a cook and an eater, I would love watching you anyway. Your voice is soothing, you dont bang things around and everything you make looks wonderful! Once again, I want to make some Beef Stew soon! Nothing tastes better to me than beef in a gravy. YUM!!
Thank you so much for your words my friend, it is a hearty delicious dish.❤
I'm glad that you make American food as well as Mexican. Everything looks so good!! I love that you let us watch your tasting it too. Thank you!!
Û,,
Real quick. I'm a new follower. High 5 to sticking with tradition and respecting your mother at same time. Very sweet.
As I was watching this I was thinking how wonderful it would be on a chilly, windy, rainy day in October or November. Can't wait to try it!
My husband just heard your voice on my IPAD and he said “oh, it’s Rachel, she is an excellent cook”! We love you and love your recipes!
A back to the basics with love and taste. That's what I was looking for. Thanks to you Rachel. Love the way you teach step by step!
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and taking the time to show us each step! This is so close to the beef stew that I make. But now that it's just my Mom and me I can't cook the things that I love. She doesn't eat onions, celery and much more. But I am definitely going to make this with a pot of rice very soon. 😃 Thank you again and God bless you!🙏🍽❤💥
I have your old fashioned beef stew simmering away here in southeast Louisiana. In the past, I have only used the “beef stew packets” to make it. This is smelling delicious. We will be eating it over rice. I love your videos. You take the time to show and explain everything. I made your chicken salad last week and had some friends over. We all loved it. You are very much appreciated!
Oh Rachel!!! Your beef stew is to die for. It is amazing and you make it look so good when you eat it. I watch you every night before I go to bed and it just totally relaxes me! Thanks for sharing it with your viewers 🤗🤗🤗
Wow! Just made this with my daughter. Just wow! Can't wait for the leftovers and to try more of your recipes!
Thank you so much for letting me know my friend. ❤
Hi Rachel, I love your cooking instructions and I like the way you color coordinate what you are wearing with your aprons!
You win the prize for cooking great and being fashionable!
I watched several videos on this because I was interested in learning how to do this. I really like how you use the veggies at the middle and end of your recipe. Interesting. I didn't see the other channels doing this. I prefer this method although I will probably add wine to mine as well. I like how you cooked the beef as well with the flour.
Rachel I am 64 and retired and Love to cook! You have made me a better cook with your videos! The best and I really enjoy them! Thankyou!!!
Thank you for helping me remember many things my father taught me to do. He loved teaching me and always wanted me to watch, not touch even when I was an adult.
I used to make old fashioned beef stew. But I used left over roast beef. Because I honestly just forgot how my grandma Hilda had taught me to make it. Watching you ; made me remember!! I'll definitely make it this weekend. It's mother's day this Sunday so I know my daughter will appreciate it! Thank you Rachel! Oh, I love seeing the enjoyment you get when tasting the food!
This beef stew looks totally amazing. Cannot wait to make it! It’s more complex than my simpler recipe, but can’t wait to try adding the additional ingredients you use..like the thyme and rosemary, tomato paste and tomatoes. I’m sure it is unbelievably yummy! Thank you so much Rachel!💕
Rachel all I can say is, Del!
iciouso you are a patient and wonderful cook. God Bless You.
I love you Chef Rachel for making homemade Beef Stew Yes Amen and add homemade cornbread or homemade bread Amen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Homemade bread goes with just about anything ❤❤
Rachel, I ate every bite along with you. I could almost taste it and it was just delicious. I wish I was there to eat with you. Thanks, very satisfied.
Thank you so much. ❤
I am 88 yrs. young and this is the way my grandmother cooked. I want this stew - right now,
I have watched all of your cooking shows and I love them so much because it is like standing on a chair in her kitchen and loving whatever she was cooking. When the family gathered for a Sunday dinner or a holiday meal the table was always set with her china, which I have, white linens, etc. There are special things I remember such as her breaded tomatoes, always fried chicken or some type of beef and fluffy mashed potatoes with melted butter. Usually for dessert was her special white cake with warm lemon sauce. Oh how I miss her and her Irish stories - some were a little scary. Your shows remind me of her. Thank you Rachel.
Rachel your stew looked delicious i could almost taste it!! You're a great cook what a lucky guy your husband is.
Thank you so much, and I am so blessed to have him.❤
Whenever I want to make a dish right, I turn to you, Rachel. True down-home cooking. I seared the beef yesterday and I'm going to follow your recipe for the remainder today. Will post how it came out. Thank you!!
I made this stew and it was absolutely delicious. The meat was tender and everything tasted beautiful. Thanks
So happy to hear this. Thank you so much for letting me know.❤
This was released 3 years ago, but I needed it today! Rachel, you never disappoint. Thank you for taking the time to help us come up with new ideas. ❤️👍🍲
That beef stew looks delicious. Would love to have a bowl with the toasted bread. Great job Rachel.
I've made this dish several times, and my family all love it. I rarely have any leftovers. The home made bread is delicious with it, too!
Made this today......exactly, perfectly, just-like-that, and got rave reviews from my family, the best tasting stew EVER! Your recipes can make even the worst cook look good! Love your videos!
Sooo, I cooked with Rachel today. I literally watched the video and did it. It came out delicious !!! It didn’t come out as thick as hers and I added corn starch, but it was good anyways. Everyone liked it at my home ❤️.
I love watching your videos, you have such great experience in your cooking skills! You have taught me to be a better cook and I'm 64! Your voice is so soothing and sweet to listen too!
I totally jive with your cooking preferences and style. I grew up in SW Nebraska farm family eating hearty meals…beef, noodles, potatoes, cabbage rolls, stuffed bell peppers, homemade bread, homemade desserts. Also in that area, Hispanic immigrants started moving in. So I was exposed to enchiladas, tacos, chorizo, burritos. Another twist to my palate is my Appalachian Grandma, I love fried potatoes, soup beans, cornbread, pork chops, chicken & dumpling, chow chow, fried green tomatoes, fresh veggies, & sour kraut.
Love watching you cook, can't wait to try the beef stew, you explained very well & make it look so easy step by step. Could watch & listen to you all day.🤗
Looks delicious! Sending to my grandson, he's going to love it!!
You are fabulous! I've made beef stew for decades, but your recipe is truly mouth-watering! I'm looking forward to many more recipes!!
Thank you so much. ❤
Love everything you cook. I am 89 and still learning. Love from Philadelphia
Hi Rachael, I’m not sure when I came across one of your cooking videos but I’m so ever glad that I did.. I subscribed to your channel and let me tell you, that after watching you take your time to show your viewers step by step on how you make your dishes I’m happy to see the love 💕 you put into making your dish. I appreciate how you take your time explaining everything. My mom used to cook like you, but I no longer have her to show me. You’re awesome and sweet and most of all a great cook. I truly love all your aprons you wear. Thank you so much I appreciate you..🌹💕
When I want to cook a meal I turn to. Your videos ❤❤❤
Love your neat and step-by-step instructions, not to mention your mix of recipes. Keep up the good work and thank you for your encouragement to all us cooks!!!
Rachael I love how you start out by posting all of the ingredients and also showing them and explaining them. I can't wait to try this recipe and love how you get the flavor with fresh ingredients instead of this envelope packets that are not as healthy. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and your talents. Btw...I love your apron too!!
Thks for sharing. I learn a lot to your video.
What a pleasure to watch you make this stew. I can’t wait to try it. I’m 82 and always looking to better my game. I like how neat and relaxed you are while filming- I know you love what you do. Thank You for sharing 💕
I have been looking for a delicious old fashioned Beef Stew recipe, so thank you for sharing this one. It was JUST in time! I plan to make it this Thursday and pair with a french baguette. Please keep the hearty recipes coming! Have a wonderful day!

Absolutely love your videos. I am 70 years old and I feel like I'm just beginning to learn good cooking skills. I am also learning to cook with a variety of recipes rather than the same old ingredients.
Rachael, that is the prettiest stew I have ever seen. I’m not kidding. It looked like it was absolute perfection. Thank you for the instruction and the recipe. People need this stew recipe in their lives. They don’t even know what they are missing.

Rachel, I have to say a big Thank You for this recipe. I've never had a 'special' beef stew recipe until this one. After making and enjoying just recently, I shared with my daughter and her husband - (he works in the meat industry) - both just raved over the deliciousness of this recipe. So, many 'thumbs up' on this wonderful recipe. A real Keeper!!
Hi Rachel I love watching you as a child a long time ago I used to watch my baba cooking in the kitchen. It’s like I’m there again when I watch you, I’m from Belfast Northern Ireland but we always went to Montreal to visit my sister and she was there cooking up a storm. So heart warming xxx
This is the best beef stew I've ever made or tasted! I'm thrilled I found your channel. I have a feeling we are going to be exploring a lot of your Mexican dishes. We love Mexican food and your recipes look delicious. I'm making your cinnamon rolls next. This stew is off the charts! TY Rachel 🥰 ☮✝❤
Thank you so much. ❤
I wish I had been able to watch you when I was younger and didn’t understand the “why’s” of doing things! You are the best cooking show out there. Thank you and I hope you are settling in to your new place.
I think you’re the best cook on the internet!
Thank you so much.❤

There has never been, nor will there ever be, anything better than old-fashioned cooked- with-love long simmered homemade dishes! I love your videos. They would be great for new cooks because you explain the reasons behind the techniques, such as using flour to brown. I've been cooking since I was 10, and I'm now 70. You and I cook very much the same way.
