I was suspicious when I looked at the ingredient list and saw that this doesn't call for any spices. And I was right to be!.. this stew is BLAND. I doused it in hot sauce once it was on my plate and that helped a bit, but yeah, there's very little flavor here otherwise. To the people saying it's too thin: you need to simmer it longer and let the liquid cook off! This was worth trying, but I won't make it again.

Delicious! Instead of the pork tenderloin, I used some leftover pulled pork that I had in the fridge, and also added a can of diced tomatoes and a can of corn. Super quick, easy and yummy!

Everyone in the family liked this one. I did have to use mild italian sausage as our local store didn't have chorizo. I then served it over brown rice. Great recipe, that one could easily play around with. Some future options: diced tomatoes, cilantro, cumin. Will definitely make again.

This was SO good! Everything tasted delish! I did everything exactly as written and loved it, yet will add more beans next time.

My husband loved it. I thought it was thin, so I added a can of Rotel tomatoes and a can of corn.

This was awesome! I did adjust the chicken broth to bean ratio for a thicker stew (1 1/2 cans beans to 1 1/4 cup chicken broth). I couln't find chorizo so I used ham and seasoned with cumin, ancho powder, paprika, and cayenne. Will make again!

Had an extra pork tenderloin and no time to marinate it and came across this recipe. I doubled the beans but left everything else the same and it is wonderful!! Making it for a second time tonight. Didn't need salt or pepper. Between the pork and chorizo, there's plenty of spice. Oh, I did use bulk chorizo...just easier for me.
