This was so good! I doubled the recipe and the only I changed was using half beef and half turkey. I put it in the crock pot early and it we ate off of it for two days.

5 stars for super simple, 4 stars for taste. Very good. I added an extra can of tomatoes, bc I love tomatoes. I like green onions to garnish, my son likes crushed tortilla chips. I highly suggest stirring in the sour cream. Really adds flavor. Didn't think spicy enough. Next time I'll use hot salsa, or tomatoes with green chilies instead. I added ground red pepper. Overall, I love it and will make it again. Simply, satisfiying and uses things you actually have in the house!

This stew is fantastic. I have so many people asking for the recipe and they rave about how delish this dish is! I used Sargento's shredded taco cheese to add a kick. So good!

We used ground turkey instead of ground beef and let it simmer in the crockpot all day long. No other changes to the recipe. It was GREAT!!

I have this same recipe just a little different. I add 1lb. of ground beef 1 1/2 c of onion and 1/2 c of celery and chop together in food processor. We add 1 can of rotel 2 can of pinto beans (drained) 1 can of corn 1 can of jalapeno black eyed peas with flavore slab bacon (it adds some spice and really good) 1 tsp of cumin 1/2 tsp garli powder and i add 1/2 a pakage of chili seasoning. This is a favorite in my family we eat at least 4 time a month and its really good left overs if you add water and heat it up and add the cheese and crakers.

I followed the directions to this recipe with the exception of using black beans. This was a delicious stew. The flavors worked well together especially after simmering in the crock pot all day. I served this with the Absolute Mexican Cornbread from this website. My husband LOVED it.

I have made this twice so far with a little twist each time. I followed some other suggestions and cut down slightly on the amount of meat. I used 2 cans Ro-tel instead of the tomatoes and salsa, taco seasoning in place of the cumin, and minced garlic instead of garlic powder. The second time I made it, I completely omitted the potatoes and served it spooned over corn bread and topped with shredded cheese and a spoonful of sour cream. My husband and parents all agree that this is a very good recipe.

Tried this tonight and everyone loved it. I changed it a bit, because we like spicier food. I used a whole jar of Sam's Black bean and corn salsa, taco seasoning, rotel tomatoes, green chilies and lime, and added also 1 tbs lime juice and 1 tsp oregano. I used a liberal dose of red pepper sauce as well. I also tripled the amount of garlic (we REALLY like garlic). We didn't like the cheese on top, it made the soup gooey and stringy. All in all, I'll definately make it again.

We just finished having this for supper tonight. Everyone really liked it. I will definately make this again, although I did make a few changes. Used 1.5 lbs of ground beef, 28oz can of tomatoes, 1 cup of frozen corn, cut back on the water to 1 cup, 2 cloves of garlic instead of the garlic powder, pinch of red pepper flakes, and about 3tsp of taco seasoning, although I think it should have only been 2. I found it a little spicey but my kids both thought it was excellent. I would also add 2 more potatoes because I love potatoes in stew. Thanks for the great recipe.

Was really good the first day, but tasted pretty bad as leftovers the next day. Next time I'll use two cans diced tomatoes and hot instead of medium salsa.

Mmmm. I'm not a great cook-but I do like to try new things,this was easy to make. I did read reviews before I started and was able to use lots of the tips! I used the Ro-tel tomatoes(2 cans,10 oz.) and found that the taco seasoning gave it a heartier look and great taste, I didn't have garlic powder so substituted 2tsp minced garlic. I will soooo make this again! and again and again...(Children are 7,11 and 13 and they all had seconds)

I made few changes. Gound turkey in place of the beef, used rotel for picante sauce, and instead of cumin I put in a package of taco seasoning and package of ranch dressing mix.

EXCELLENT! I only used 1 lb beef, didn't drain the tomatoes, used northen beans, and added an additional cup of water. Excellent!! We loved it! It was still very thick but hey! That's a good stew! Loved the mild southwest flair and was filling and delicious. A dollop of sour cream and a little shredded cheddar cheese and viola! Its definately a recipe that I will make again! Thanks so much for this LaDonna!
