Easy and yummy! I left out the onion because I made it before I went to work early in the morning. I used hot Rotel tomatoes because we like it hot. Next time, I will chop some green pepper and onion the night before to throw in. Thanks for a super easy and tasty recipe!

This was absolutely delicious. I added a can of tomato paste by mistake. I like a thicker stew, so the addition was perfect. I ate it served over brown rice topped with a little cheese and sour cream. Yummy!!

Yumm, yumm, yumm! I was looking for something fast easy and light to cook over the weekend for lunches this week and this was just perfect. As I was putting it together, I realized I was out of black beans (everything was already in the crock pot) so I decided to proceed with pinto beans instead. Added a teaspoon of cumin as well as I like the smokiness it adds to fare of this sort. The stew was hearty filling and bursting with flavor. It was also pretty mild so if you are seeking some heat drop in that jalapeno as the posting chef suggests. For me this made six good size serving all of which I will enjoy, lapping up every drop with a little corn bread. Thanks!
