Notes

For additional flavor, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper if you prefer a spicier stew. This dish pairs well with crusty bread or cornbread on the side. Adjust the seasoning to taste and feel free to substitute your favorite beans or add extra vegetables for variety.
