This is a twist of a recipe I found some years ago. I've been passing the recipe around every year as the weather gets cooler. It's a great rib sticker! It also freezes well!

This stew was a bit too thick for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend adding more liquid next time.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.
