    I made it as directed except that I changed the barbeque sauce to chile sauce because the first time I made it I didn't like the flavor of the barbeque sauce. I have home made chile sauce from this site which wasn't such an overwhelming flavor. Otherwise it's great, and very filling.

    I've made this a couple of times and it never disappoints. The mixtures of flavors gives me instant happiness.

    A solid 4 stars!! I don't like to use flavored chemicals most of the time, so I omitted the barbecue sauce because I didn't know how to make my own, plus I wouldn't have had the time to make my own anyway. :/ So I doubled the recipe as this was our family dinner accompanied - Read more ...

    I made one and a half batches and I'm glad I did. It is really good. My son has eaten two large bowls already. Thank you for sharing. :-)

    This is nice. I replaced the apples for potatoes and used spicy BBQ sauce.

    I really liked the apple in this stew; it added a nice flavor to it, especially when combined with the BBQ sauce. It's great that it's also super easy to make, and with ingredients that I typically have hanging around.

    Tasty and easy to make. Great for adding all those little extras you have in the fridge. I made mine with french lentils and added potatoes, celery, and golden beets. Half of the BBQ sauce is more than enough. Bay leaves and a rosemary sprig for a herby flavor (removed at the end).
