Delicious!Very filling! My 4yr old loved it!Due to ingredients on hand, I substituted Northern Beans and Turkey Bratwurst. I added a can of mushrooms. For the tomatoes I used 1 can of basil,garlic, oregano and 1 can fire roasted. Will definitely make it again with shredded chicken breast or pork. - 3/7/10
