Wow! This was great! I used a can of tomato soup and a can of italian seasoned tomato (drained) in place of the tomato paste and water. Added a couple of dashes of chili powder. It was great. I also tried this with shredded chicken and a can of green enchilada sauce where I normally used the tomato soup. We added our sour cream afterwards. This was great poured over crumbled up cheesy cornbread. Might I add we ate it about 6 or ate times in just a few weeks.

GOOD. Easy to make and assemble. I cooked this on the stove top and let simmer 1 hour. I used cut up steak but chicken would be good as well. Also, works great as a dip if you use all beans (pinto, black, kidney etc).

This was a very good recipe, everyone liked it except my daughter gave it a three because she does not like spicy food. We substituted tomato sauce for the paste and water, since we had some leftover. We used cooked, dried beans instead of canned.

Love this recipe !! I did a couple of substitutions - I liked the suggestion of another reviewer, so I used salsa instead of tomato paste for a little zing. I also topped with Pepper Jack cheese instead of cheddar. I used chicken breast instead of ground beef. I just shredded it as it cooked and still used the taco seasonings. Whole family love it - will definately make this again and again !!

Easy,inexpensive and easy to make. I was pleasantly suprised with dish. I used dried black beans instead of canned; ground turkey instead of beef. It was so good that even my picky two-year-old said it was "mmm good mama". The next time I make it, I may double up on beans and omit the meat all together.

Not great, just okay. Had to add a lot of chili powder and cumin to make the flavors more than bland.

This was sooo good! I found the recipe by searching ingredients because I needed to use up my pantry items, and I am sooo glad I did! Hubby and I gobbled it up! Good by itself as a chili or also good with Fritos as a dip, yum!!

Very tasty, easy to make. I like to add about 1/4 tsp. of red cayenne to make it a little spicier.

excellent recipe!! i had to double the recipe for my family size. my kids loved it. even my daughter who claims she doesn't like corn; but she scarfed this dish down. the only thing i did differently was added some chopped onion, bell pepper and a can of petite diced tomatoes (plain--no flavor added). and a little extra seasoning to taste. i also added the sour cream directly to the pot and stirred in, instead of adding to individual servings and served with tostitos. this is definitely a keeper!

My toddlers helped make this dish by emptying all the cans into a bowl and adding the water. Then I emptied the bowl in with the cooked and drained meat. We did not add the sour cream at this time because some of us do not care for it. After the stew was complete we put it in bowls and added the cheese. My girls ate every bite and asked for seconds. The next day they requested it again. Next time I'll double the recipe. It's a family pleaser because each person can customize it with cheese, sour cream, jalapenos, chips, etc.

YUM! I doubled this recipe except for the corn. It is very thick (which is a good thing) so we poured it over tortilla chips. This is a keeper.

Awesome! So fast, so easy, and so yummy. The only thing I did different than the original was to add a can of diced tomatoes and a can of garbanzo beans. I think I also added more liquid (beef stock) than called for but that's just our family's preference. My kids (5 and 18 months) both had seconds! And my older son is requesting it for his birthday dinner this weekend... so you KNOW it's good!

Very delish! I use a jar of salsa in place of the tomato paste and jazz it up a bit with some spices but it's a great, quick dinner. I do not use a slow cooker, too much hassle for 20 minutes! All in 1 pot!

This is a pretty good recipe. I am cutting down on the red meat intake for the whole family and eating more veggies so I didn't add the ground beef and put in some onion instead. We are all garlic lovers so I put in 2 diced cloves of garlic which still ended up not being enough so next time I will add garlic powder as well. I think next time I will also try adding some fresh chopped cilantro for a little added flare
