My only comment is the very long cooking time 8 hours for the meat and then an additional 4-6 hours for the veggies. That would mean for this recipe as written, to be ready at dinner time for my family I would have to get up at 3AM to start this. Not likely. So I did it in 9 hours by putting in the beef ribs first, cooking on high for 4 hours and then added the veggies and cooked on low for 5 hours. I also want to add that I begin with a superior products of locally raised grass fed beef, not what you can typically buy in a supermarket and homegrown veggies. I also served it with fresh basil and thyme sprinkled on right before serving. Delicious.

I have not tried this recipe but I wanted to give the possible answer to the questions below as to why Paula may be recommending the use of chicken stock instead of beef stock. Most cooks/chefs use chicken stock instead of beef stock because beef stock gives beef dishes a harsh "irony" kind of flavor, whereas the chicken stock smoothes out the flavoring of a beef dish and enhances that "beefy" flavor (PLUS chicken stock just tastes better with beef dishes). :0)

Horrible. Too much fat and bland. I would drain the fat after browning and add a tomato or vinegar ingredient to cut the fattiness in the dish.

Delicious!! The ribs were falling right off the bone...it was as tender as potroast! I was confused as to why it called for chicken broth instead of beef broth, but I followed the recipe, and it was delicious! I left it to cook all day, so I put the short ribs and veggies all in the crockpot at the same time, and left out the potatoes. When I came home I made some mashed potatoes to go along with it. Yummy! I will make this again!

I have tried your volcano cake and apple strudel. The volcano cake was a hit at work. I save the apple strudel for very special friends and relatives. I watch your show all the time. I just love you.
