This tasted even better the next day after all the flavors melded together. I didn't have the Olive Oil dressing that the recipe called for so I subbed Italian Dressing which I had on hand and added a bit of olive oil when I cooked my meats and the veggies after. I seasoned my pork before cooking it, I think meat needs that to develop the flavors when browning up better. My hubby didn't care this too much either but overall, I liked it.

Loved it. So easy to make. Tasted like casoulet that I have had in France.

My family found the meat bland. They didn't like the carrot bean combo. Perhaps the kolbassa was not spiced enough to carry through the pork.

Very good. I didn't have any beans so I put in lentils, turned out great.

Very tasty...wasn't sure about the kidney beans but it was good. I would definitely make it again.

Everyone liked this, I used a multi grain flour (all I had available) and it turned out great!

Very quick to make and lots of flavour. I have used a large chicken breast, cubed instead of sausage and a couple of drops of liquid smoke. It is a reciped that can be changed to suit ingredients on hand - poultry, pork, ham, sausage, bacon and navy beans, romano, etc.

Excellent! Very tasty. I substitute sliced pork tenderloin for the chops, turkey chorrizo for the Kielbasa and navy beans for the white kidney beans.
