This was fast and easy and tasted great. I really like that usually I would have all the ingredients on hand and would only need to remember to pick up a few things at the store.

This was good!! I made just a few adjustments...I used ground beef instead of steak and one can of ranch style beans instead of butter beans. This was very filling and the whole family loved it.
