This could also be called Pasta Faggiole, Fazool, what ever lol. I should find someone who really knows Italian to tell me the correct spelling. I have seen many. Enywho, this is a hit; and if you cook the beans long enough it won't make you gassy. The leftovers are even better than when it is first cooked, and it is even good cold. If you wish this could be made with olive oil and veggie stock for a vegetarian dish.

This stew was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

This stew was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland and the beans were a little undercooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover beans. I had some black beans and kidney beans that I needed to use up, so I made this stew. It turned out great! The stew was hearty and flavorful, and the beans were cooked perfectly.

I made this stew in my slow cooker and it was so easy! I just threw all the ingredients in and let it cook on low for 8 hours. When I came home, the stew was ready and smelled amazing. It was so flavorful and comforting.

Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. The stew was thick and flavorful, and the beans were cooked perfectly. I served it with some crusty bread and it was a perfect meal for a cold night.
