“It's one of my favorites,” says Frida McCarthy. “Plus, I always eat it when I'm feeling under the weather.”

“Delicious,” raves Shirley P. “Everyone gave it a two thumbs up and asked that I make this rather the mainstay beef stew. To kick up the heat, I used original Rotel and canned diced jalapenos rather than the canned green chilis. I also used smoked cumin for a heartier taste.”
