I'm a Beef & Beans type person and this sure fills the bill. For once I followed the recipe, well almost.I couldn't resist adding another Onion and a Seeded, vained, finely minced & Sauted Jalapeno. This freezes and reheats with no loss of character.

This is easy and delicious - the meat was soooo tender and I just used some beef stew meat I had in the freezer. We loved the addition of the BBQ sauce at the end of cooking. I used cheap-old Open Pit and it worked great. You could use your own home made if you wanted to. I cooked this on low for about 12 hours and then served with cornbread. Thanks, Mirj!

This was so easy to put together and tasted wonderful. I will definitely do this again.
