Can’t wait to try the Cowboy Stew. It looks like just my speed. A question – do you drain the liquid from the 24 oz Paisley Farm Southwest Bean Salad? Or does the liquid just add more flavor to the Stew.
Hi Mary Lyn,
Great question. We recommend draining the Southwest Bean Salad. Have you had a change to try it out?
I made this for me, my wife and two grand sons. It was really good and none of it went to waste. Thank you.
