great comfort food! I only changed things based on what was in my pantry - 1/2 packet hot&spicy taco seasoning, 2c. tomato soup, 2c. veggie broth, carrots, potatoes, onion, 1/2 c. cooked spinach, and a can of kidney beans. You could probably do alot with this!

This was really good. I followed the basic recipe as listed and added 1 can of mushroom pieces (without liquid), 1 red pepper chopped really fine, 1 can corn drained and 1 cup of frozen peas. Family loved it! Thanks!

I followed this recipe closely, but instead of using pork & beans, which I had used a couple of days ago, I had a can of bean with bacon soup. I was afraid I was going to have to throw out what I had prepared. It was redeemed by a frozen pkg of mixed veggies. Out of 5 at supper, only 3 liked it & 2 didn't get enough to eat. I guess I'll be going back to my mother's recipe.

This was really a hearty stew/soup. I used 96%lean ground beef,skipped the pork and beans as I had none and subtituted a 16oz can of crushed tomatoes instead. Absolutely wonderful!

This was a great recipe. I add corn and green beans also to make it even more yummy! I have also added chicken instead of hamburger. I think this is very tasty and would highly recommend it! :)

This turned out delicious!! I made it on a whim because I had some carrots and potatoes I needed to use. I used a can of petite diced tomatoes in place of the tomato soup and also added a can of corn and a can of black beans drained, instead of the pork and beans. It was so fast and easy to throw together. I seasoned the hamburger with a little garlic powder and some worcestershire sauce. Then I just threw everything in the pot, and let it simmer. It was ready in under an hour and tasted like I had taken all day to make it. It would also be a great slow-cooker recipe. Everyone in my family enjoyed it. My six very old devoured a bowl and my husband went back for seconds and said it was a definite keeper. Next time I might add another lb of hamburger to stretch it a little further.

I made this for dinner tonight--I didn't think I was going to like it at first, but the closer I got to the bottom of the bowl, the more I liked it. I added a can of corn, 1/2 t. black pepper, and a clove of garlic minced. Thanks for the recipe.

This recipe was great. The reason I gave it four stars is because I think if I hadn't added some of the extra ingredients I did then it would've been a bit bland. I added less taco seasoning and think that half a pouch would probably do fine. The seasoning tends to overpower the stew a bit. I also added more vegetables (frozen green bean medley, and a tiny bit of green pepper) and some thyme, sweet basil, garlic powder and a beef bouillon pouch. I also changed the onion for a bunch of chopped green onion. I was pretty happy with the result and how versatile the recipe is. Great one to clean out your fridge with!

My family really loved this. I tasted it near the end of cooking and it was rather bland, so I threw in a few dashes of garlic powder and a load of black pepper. It really turned out nice. Good, stick to your ribs comfort food.

This was a life saver last night!! My 4 month old was screaming and I literally just started throwing stuff in the pot. Whatever I could get my hands on. I used ground deer meat that we process with a little pork. I didn't have any regular baked beans, but I stole the hubbies can of Bushs Grilling beans, steakhouse recipe. can of diced tomatoes, can of whole potatoes that I cut up, can of corn, two beef boullion packets, some garlic, minced onion and a cup of water. I wasn't sure about the taco seasoning so I held off and added it little by little to my taste buds, no the whole pack. I'd love next time to have more time to tweak it some more and add fresh veggies instead, but it turned out quite well

This stew is edible, but far from delicious. Making this recipe reminded me the effect of using too many shortcuts. The only redeeming factor is the fresh vegetables. Take a pass on this overly processed "stew" !

i Made this pretty much according to the directions with the following exceptions. I increased the water to 4-5 cups and added 2 beef bullion cubes and 2 packets of Goya tomato bullion. i also omitted the pork and beans and added a large can ( 30oz) of pinto beans. i also added more veggies. 1 can of spinach (not drained), 1/2 a med. head of cauliflower, 1/2 head of med to large cabbage (chopped), 1 large sweet potato, and 1-2 cups frozen corn, I also increased the potatoes 4-5 large ones. It may seems like a lot of bullion but because of the added water as well as added veggies it balanced out, if its too salty u can always add more water, but it ends up more stew like. (stewp a la Rachel Ray) By adding more veggies you also stretch the recipe we had it for dinner a lunch , I then froze it and we had a BIG dinner with the remainder!!! ENJOY

This is really a wonderful simmering soup, perfect for those out there who love to throw anything and everything into a pot! The Pork n' Beans, tomato soup and taco seasoning come together quite nicely. This base is so perfect that you can get away with adding almost anything ... diced tomatoes, pasta instead of potatoes, and maybe some green beans. I added a 1/2 bag of Knorr's vegetable soup to it just because I had it in the cupboard (and b/c I didn't have enough taco seasoning). Thanks for the recipe! We really enjoyed it!

I made this exactly as directed except, by mistake, I took out a can of tomatoes with green chilies instead of regular tomatoes. It was absolutely fantastic. I think it would have too bland with the little kick. Thank you for sharing.

Very good "soup". I had to make a few changes based on what was on hand. Used: 1 can diced tomatoes(basil, oregano,garlic) instead of tomato soup 3 beef bouillon cubes + 4 cups water 1 1/2 cups chopped cabbage I sauteed the onions, celery, cabbage with the ground beef for several minutes before adding all the additional ingredients. Good soup! Thanks.

I was a little skeptical--not a big red meat fan but it was very good. My "meat and potatoes" husband and in-laws loved it too. It was a great way to get them to eat some veggies.
