This is delicious. Made it more for health benefits (fiber). I did add onion, smoke paprika and 1 other Mexican seasoning to increase the flavor, also used turkey bacon instead. I enjoy this dish, very hearty

Great platform to start with......empty the fringe. Added ham and summer sausage and 2 beef bullion cubes and pepper to taste.

I made a few changes, and it was great!
First, I chopped the bacon before cooking, and used 1 TBS olive oil to brown. Then I sautéed the veggies (adding a small chopped onion) in 3 TBS butter for 5 minutes before adding to the pot. I used 1 qt beef bone broth and 1.5 quarts water. I did add 2 bay leaves while cooking.

This wasn’t good. I didn’t add bacon due to my diet but regardless it wasn’t good. I’m gonna drain the water and just mix in bbq sauce.

Good food, added a habanero without seeds. Substituted snort bacon for turkey.
Gotta say that the recipe and instructions were a little on the wrong side of ok.
No mention of onion in list...apart for garlic/celery...but in instructions said ad onion(so I did)
But it’s frustrating for novice kitchen warriors 🤬
Also, no mention of amount of bay leaves or basil, or if it’s fresh or dried....
