OLD FASHIONED BEEF STEW! STEP BY STEP ❤

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 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’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.

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.

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 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!

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 YouTube videos for years, but have never felt the need to comment before now. Keep up the good work 💖

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

I love that she makes home made everything! No packages no fake ingredients. Love her!

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!

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 Rachel, I am 70 years old you just taught me how to make beef stew the right way.

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.

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'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

Rachel - you take cooking to another level! The passion and expertise is top notch. Please keep making videos!

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 😊

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.

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!
