Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
Wondering about the consistency. No liquid other than tomatoes. I added some broth/liquid to the crockpot…Maybe that ingredient was omitted from the recipe? Making this for dinner tonight! Smells really good!
Hi Susan! We are glad to hear your Cajun Stew is smelling good! The recipe calls for one 28 oz. can–or 3.5 cups–of plum tomatoes; it sounds like the addition of broth would also be delicious, especially if you like a little thinner consistency to your stew. We would love to hear how it turns out! Have a great day!
