Notes

* You can use any brand of beans in this recipe, and if using Bush’s Beans, any flavor profile you want. I liked the ‘Steakhouse Beans’ because they had brown sugar and steak sauce as the base, but use whatever flavor you’d like.

*This stew can also be cooked on the stovetop (or a campfire).
