  1. I made your Beef and Black Bean Stew. I also added 2 15 oz cans of red kidney beans about 16 cut up baby carrots and 1 can of sweet corn to your recipe. Can you give me an estimate of what my calories for a 2 cup serving would be of this recipe????
    Your original recipe said 388 calories but didn’t say how much per serving size. Counting calories as I do. I could us y’all’s expertise to help me get a good idea of what I’m eating with my recipe. Can you help???

    1. Stanley, Sure, be glad to help. The calorie count for 2 cups of Burgoo Stew is approximately 393 calories. Enjoy!
