SOUTHWESTERN STEW POT

Southwestern Stew Pot image

Romping in the national forest amid tall ponderosa pines around our home gives my husband and our two little boys big appetites. They like this savory stew. Because I'm a busy firefighter, I often make it ahead and serve it when I need a meal in a hurry. -Linda Russell, Forest Lakes, Arizona

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra chili powder and cumin to give it more flavor.

This stew is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The stew was still delicious.

I made this stew in my slow cooker and it was perfect for a busy weeknight meal. I just threw everything in the pot in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home.

This recipe was easy to follow and the stew turned out great. I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this stew was just right. The sweetness of the corn and peppers balanced out the heat of the chili peppers perfectly.
