This stew is great with any kind of meat, venison and other wild game work well. Often I will cook my own beans for this. I just soak 1/2 cup the night before, rinse the next morning and simmer until done. I also use home canned tomatoes, I just put them in the food processor and give it a whirl or two. I put the Tabasco on the table and if your guest like more heat they can add more to it. This stew is
