Mexican Bean Stew

In an attempt to utilise what I had in my cupboards, this lovely Mexican stew was created - its amazing what a few spices can do to pep up some tinned beans! Make this the day before you want to eat it for the best flavour.

    We love stews like this especially on cold snowy days. You guys have been hit hard this year but we have a hard time feeling too bad because we've had almost 35 inches this December!
