Very nice recipe with good depth of flavor. I made the recipe as written with the exception of using crushed tomatoes with Italian seasoning, and omitting the dried Italian seasoning. Well liked by adults and kiddos. Thank you for the wonderful recipe!

Just made this for dinner tonight. Went according to the recipe but used a beef boullion cube crushed and mixed with a small of water. I used about 2 pounds of stew beef. We like the white beans so the next time I will use two cans. It was a wonderful meal with enough leftover for the two us for another meals. Has anyone tried to freeze the leftover portion since I am only cooking for two?

Made this dish a couple of weeks ago, it was very good! When I make this again, I will probably cut back on the italian seasoning as it was just alittle too much for my taste, and I will also add alittle extra beef as well. I did subsitute mushrooms for the white kidney beans (just a family preference), and used italian green beans instead of regular green beans. This is a definate keeper!
