I tried this recipe since I'd never thought to make a stew with cole slaw mix. I liked the different textures of beans, beef and cabbage but as is the flavoring was bland for us. (I did have to sub tomato sauce for the tomato juice)I added additional spices to perk it up and my hubby really enjoyed it. I took another reviewer's advice and added cheese as a topping. I think it'll taste even better tomorrow.

I made this for dinner using 2 leq quarters like someone else suggested. Also had to substitute lemon for lime since that's what I had. Loved it and so did my husband! Great addition to my menu. Will try with lime next time.

Delicious! I was looking for a soup to make with my 2 cups of leftover chicken. I cut just about all the ingredients in half accordingly except for the broth - 2 cups wasn't going to be enough liquid, I ended up using about 5 cups. I didn't have carrots so I threw in some frozen peas and used dried parsley instead of fresh. I loved the spice combo - the red pepper gave it a nice little kick. Even cutting the recipe in half, my hubby and I had enought leftovers for lunch. This is a keeper!
