What a yummy stew! I love anything that is Mexican or Southwest inspired. I did make three changes based on personal preference (don't think it altered the final outcome at all) ~ 1. I crumbled the sausage instead of cutting it in slices; 2. I added more cumin because I love the smokey flavor that it adds; and 3. I added a can of tomato sauce to make it a little thicker. This makes a nice healthy dinner and I will be making it again. Thanks for posting this. Made for Bargain Basement Tag.
