Best Stew EVER!

 

This stew is Sooo good!

It comes to us from Melissa Prien who stumbled on it totally by accident! (Thank goodness)

 

Ingredients:

3 cans garlic, basil fire roasted canned tomatoes.

2 cans black beans (drained)

2 cans kidney beans (drained)

4 red potatoes

1 onion chopped

8 chicken apple sausages (they come 4 to a pack usually.. so two packs) cut to bite size.

Couple of tablespoons of garlic.

Pepper to taste.

That’s it!

If you have a pressure cooker, throw it all in for about 20 min.

If not, put in slow cooker or in pot on stove and cook.

When done cooking, add about 2 C. of frozen vegies of your choice. Allow to cook through. (about 10 more min.).
