This was wicked easy and delicious. I did add onion and garlic and used chicken broth instead of water. Thanks for sharing!

I added one chopped onion, made broth instead of water using my old reliable "Better Than Bouillion" (no, I don't work for them!!) xoxo

Looks good, but haven't made it yet. I have a question, though...are baked beans the kind with sugar in them? That's the only kind I could find in my local supermarket and wonder if this will make the stew too sweet.

This was good, but it just wasn't what I expected from a stew. It was better with shredded cheddar on top.

I haven't tried it yet, but I will. I was wondering if you could use yams (sweet potatoes) instead of regular potatoes.

I've made this quite a few times over the years. It's a great way to use up leftover ham. My husband and I love it. It always gets eaten up in record time.
