Expert Tips

Sometimes brisket comes in larger pieces, such as 4 to 6 pounds. If you purchase one of these larger pieces, use what you need for this recipe and freeze the remaining piece for a future meal.

For added color, sprinkle this stew with chopped curly parsley

Instead of squash, try using another root vegetable in this hearty stew.

Sounds good to me however, my wife cannot eat tomatoes in any shape or form. What would you use for a substitute for the tomatoes?

I made this stew for company and they gobbled it up--though I don't know the value of using brisket. It was pricey to buy. I thought any beef roast would work just as well. I think sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in large chunks could be substituted easily for the butternut. I love butternut,but it requires parboiling to peel eaily, so is more laborous to prepare then just using a peeler on a couple sweet potatoes. I used recommendations to sear meat first and to cut squash in large chunks, which worked well.

Very good. I agree with the person who wrote that the butternut squash was too soft, only because I like my vegetables crisp tender, which is hard to do in a crock pot. I enjoyed the flavor combinations of beef, tomatoes, butternut squash. Pulling the beef was a bit time consuming but probably tasted much better (more tender) that way.

I almost didn't make this because of the previous scathing review. But I did and served it at a family gathering. The family loved it! It doesn't look so good cooking, but when it's all done it looks and tasts great. I will definitely make it again.

The most disgusting thing I've ever put on the table. No flavor and I have no idea how to even improve it. Never, ever again will I make this!!!
