Okay...so go ahead and laugh. This looks like a pile of chunky gop. LOL But this chunky gop, my family loved! I followed to a T with ingredients. But I ended up stirring the whole pot together instead of the 1st 4 and then top with beans. My bad. However, my husband and kids loved very much I'd make it again too. Good hearty filling dish on a cold night when you need something to stick to your bones. I also doubled the recipe because I bought some bargain priced meat and had leftover smoked sausage that I wanted to use up. Won't go to waste in my house.

We enjoyed this recipe. I seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin. I also added a can of drained sweet corn. The only thing I would change for next time is the stew meat. I didn't brown it before putting in the crockpot but will try that next time.

It was good - hard to tell what would make it a 5-Star meal. I browned the meat, like some reviewers suggested, and even tossed the stew meat in some McCormick Fiery 5 Pepper and used almost a full small bottle of Tangy & Sweet BBQ sauce after everything was in the crockpot. Meat was real tender, but the stew was lacking something. Maybe more of the Fiery 5 Pepper seasoning or maybe just a tablespoon or two of Cayenne - something to give it some kick. The wife said the recipe was a keeper, so, next time I'll try things just a little differently.

I use this recipe often for friends coming over. I added 1/2 tsp. liquid smoke and chopped up the chuck steaks myself. I think the chopped steak was better meat than the stew meat. I can trim all the excess fat off so to not get an over powering grease flavor. Then I added 1/4 cup of my favorite BBQ sauce and it tastes GREAT!

My husband loves this. Made it word for word first time. Deleted the stew meat and just ad 2 lbs of smoked sausage. Just use any baked beans and some BBQ sauce. Adding corn is good too!

I had all the ingredients in the house so i decided to test this out. I did season/brown the meat in advance. Turned out great. Thought it could use a bit more flavor, and i'll experiment with it again. Great base receipe, super easy. cooked fast, would recommend a shorter cook time if using high setting.
