    Very Good
    Too much sodium for me but I would eat it any way - 12/11/20

    Great recipe but should have the peppers listed in the ingredients. And honestly, any veggies you have hanging around would be good in this stew (carrots, celery, parsnip, fennel) - 7/17/19

    Incredible!
    So it was really tasty, but the recipe instructions itself needs help. They never tell you about red pepper in the ingredient list and they never tell you when to add the beans as you are putting everything together. It was so good though. I will definitely be making it again. - 8/26/08

    Work with Special Ed teens. Had them shop for the ingredients. Easy to understand shopping and cooking directions makes this stew a winner. Thanks - 1/14/08
