    Simple & easy to make! I added some leftover meat I had. Doesn’t taste like a stew though, but it worked.

      Umm, but isn’t it supposed to taste like a stew? I don’t know about mixing in meat. Just stick to the recipe next time, yeah?

      Glad to hear it worked for you! Leftover meat sounds like a tasty twist. I’ve tried adding sausage before, and it made it even heartier!

    Too many beans! I don’t like the texture. Next time I’ll half the beans. Not for me.

    I’m not sure why everyone loves this recipe. It was kinda bland. Needs more spices or something.

      I thought it was delish! But, yeah, seasoning is up to taste. Maybe you’re just not into it that much? 🤷‍♂️

      I totally get you! It needs some kick, maybe add a dash of cayenne or some cumin next time. That might help! 🌶️
