What an interesting ingredient mix...and so good! It was even better as leftovers the next day.

My boyfriend and I made this for dinner last night, and we couldn't think of a reason to rate it less than five stars. Here are some things I did a tiny bit differently: -A tiny bit of EVOO (instead of Canola) -I bought Habanero and Green chile turkey sausage -Did not use ham -Used fresh roma tomatoes from a friend's garden, instead of canned (tried to reserve as much juice as possible) -Added a diced, seeded habanero and red chile pepper (it actually didn't end up too spicy, although our noses were running a bit!) The stew was so yummy, and so colorful and pretty to look at! I noticed someone had trouble with the sweet potatoes softening fast enough -- just make sure you dice everything in small, bite-sized pieces and you won't have a problem with that. This was SO GOOD. One of the all-time best recipes I've made from this site.

I left out the meat and this was still great! Next time, I'd probably add more mango and cilantro. I agree with some others, it's a bit of chopping for a quick, weeknight dinner, but it makes a lot, and the results are worth it. Great combination of flavors!

I don't know why I'm incapable of following a recipe...but, I still ended up with a really awesome creation. I actually did have mango but with the advice of my family who didn't want to eat sweet potato and mango together I decided to leave it out. I wish I hadn't, just to see how it would have tasted. I scaled the recipe for 4, omitted the ham and used beef sausage, and didn't add cilantro either because I didn't have any. I didn't use any oil...why would you cook sausage in oil? The sausage releases oil when it's cooking, enough to cook the onions in. If eating with rice(the best way to eat it) I would add another 1/3-1/2 a cup of water or so for more of a sauce to eat with the rice. Also make sure to add 1/2 ts of paprika, 1/4 ts chilli powder, and 1/4 a ts of black pepper. I didn't try it with the cumin, but I'll do it next time. Jalapeno is a fine substitute for the green chilli pepper if you're out. To thicken up the sauce and give it a really great mild sweet and sour flavor, I added a TB of ketchup. I love adding ketchup to beans cooked with spices because it gives them addicting taste. Oh, another note...unless you absolutely can't eat a meal without meat, I would suggest leaving all the meat out. The sausage didn't seem to add any flavor at all the stew and the flavor of the sweet potatoes and beans together were so hearty that the sausage was just overkill. And if you do happen to have a family of carnivores like mine, then add more sausage, as mine complained the

It tastes as good as it looks and sounds. I omitted the chorizo only because I didn't have any on hand and added some Goya Adobo seasoning. Also I topped my stew with sliced avocados. One of my dinner guests wanted rice so I made rice with Sazon Goya and she mixed it in with her soup. Was told that was a delicious combo as well. Thanks for the great recipe.

I made corn bread on the side. It tasted like chili with a twist. It was too sweet for my boyfriend. Next time, I'll add 2 hot chilis with the seeds and add the meat. I like it hot!

Very good! Left out the mango cause I didn't have one, but we didn't need it anyway. This is what my husband and I consider soup though, not stew. Make a salad and you've got supper!

Loved it! Used a frozen bag of mango instead of fresh and a can of chili's to save time. Also used an entire link of sausage so I didn't have to weigh it. Increased garlic to 1 tablespoon.

Oh wow. Didn't have to alter it one bit and it came out amazing! I can't believe how well all these flavors complemented each other! I made a lot and had left overs for 3 days afterwards, and every once got sick of it! Would taste just as good vegetarian. :)

We loved this and have frozen several helpings. I think that freezing it has helped to meld the flavors even more. Next time, I may even add another mango as this seems to have made this recipe special. Family loves this!

I give this 5 stars because I loved it, but my husband would only give it 4 and the kids would probably give it 1 because they couldn't handle the texture of the sweet potatoes and mango. I enjoyed every bit of the leftovers and they got better each day.

Besides adding extra chorizo and cilantro and substituting the sweet potato with yam, we followed the recipe as is, and it turned out to be super yummy. It was amazing with butter garlic sourdough bread! It's like nothing I've ever tried before!

What an awesomely unique recipe! I love all things mango, black bean, and veggie, and while my husband does not, I thought I'd be able to appease him by adding a little extra meat. I used hot Italian turkey sausage because we don't eat pork, olive oil instead of canola and chicken broth instead of water. I also added a teaspoon of cumin like another reviewer suggested and tomatoes with mild green chiles to spice it up a bit. I was also pretty liberal with the salt. The result was delicious! I had expected to love this and for my husband to eat it because it was there, not because he genuinely liked it. He ate it with chips and actually scraped his bowl clean! Thank you for the great recipe!! This is a keeper! : )

Oh my! This was such a wonderful combination of flavors. We absolutely loved this. My husband said "this is so good" about 10 times while eating it and he rarely comments on food. I would suggest adding one extra mango. We did and it really even could have worked with 3. My only slight complaint was that the prep time (chopping) is long and that the sweet potatoes take much longer than stated to cook until soft. The recipe says it takes 15 minutes to soften the sweet potatoes but it took us over 30 minutes. Still, it was well worth the wait. We will make this again and again!
