Very quick and easy to make. I used 20 oz. of ground turkey instead of 1# ground beef, didn't have minced onion flakes so I used fresh chopped onions and used canned beans and let me tell you ...... my family wents crazy over it! We haven't stopped talking about it since I made it 2 weeks ago and it's been requested several times since then. And since our Christmas meal is not a typical turkey or ham, they have requested I make it for Christmas as a extra meat dish! Thanks Paula, this one really hit a homerun!

This was soooo good. However I wish I would have used canned beans instead of dried. I am not sure if it was the beans that I used or what but they didnt seem to get as tender as I wanted and I cooked it all day. Also I didnt use all the water it called for it was too soup like less like a chili but it had amazing flavor.

Excellent! I used canned beans and only 2 cups of water. It was fantastic. We loved it and will definitely make again.
