I must have done something wrong!! The potatoes were hard. I did add some spices to the meat while browning (salt, paprika, cayenne and black pepper) and I added minced garlic to the crock pot. Even if the potatoes had been done, I think it was bland and needed even more spice.

We used to make this recipe over a campfire. However, since one son is allergic to kidney beans, we added whole kernel corn instead. Delicious!

I've been making this for years and years---except I use cut up carrots instead of the beans, and mix in a sprinkle of Italian spices and a 1/2 can of water. My kids and now my grandkids just love it! I only simmer it until the carrots are cooked through---1/2 hr.

This was a good soup. Nothing amazing, but good and filling. I only used 1lb. of meat and 4 potatoes and that was plenty. It could have used some more seasoning, maybe garlic. And I think it would nice to add a bag of frozen mixed veggies too.
