Hearty Bean Stew

Taste of Home - try a FREE ISSUE today!

From Regina, Saskatchewan, Penny Giles writes, “A Canadian prairie winter can be bone-chilling. A bowl of this meatless stew over couscous, rice or with cornbread is all it takes to warm us up. It’s hearty, tasty and—unbeknownst to your family—healthy, too!“ stew can be served over rice (note to editors: this is not meatless because of the beef broth)

    This is a fabulous recipe! You can increase the liquid a bit and make it into a soup. I add a bit of cooked rice to the soup and it tastes just like Campbell's Fiesta Vegetable soup...maybe better!

    This recipe is fabulous and a welcome variation on regular chili! Very delicious and easy to make. I added about a teaspoon of ground cumin and served the stew over a little macaroni. A great meal for a cold night indeed!
