Cooking Know-How

The secret to a quick-cooking stew is having all your ingredients cut small enough to cook quickly. If you have trouble cutting the sausage into 1/2-inch slices, just remove it from the casing and break it up as you brown it. Be sure to drain the excess fat after browning.

Hubby and daughter enjoyed it on a cold winter day. They don't like super hot food, so I used smoked sausage, then added 1 tsp cumin, 2 T chili powder, and a dash of crushed red pepper. I also had some leftover corn, so I added that for some bright yellow.

I love the original version of this recipe but wanted to make it taste more like chili. So, I use 2 cans of diced tomatoes in chili sauce instead of no salt added tomatoes. I also substitute 1 of the 2 cans of kidney beans for a can of chili beans in chili sauce. This gives the recipe a little more kick and it's just as easy to make. Enjoy.

I added onion when cooking the peppers, sausage, and celery, and substituted Italian style stewed tomatoes. This was a really simple, yet tasty dish that will be perfect this winter! My kids liked it, but they thought it was a little spicy...and with me...spicier the better!

I turned this into a chili instead of a stew. Instead of the broth I used tomatoe sauce and added garlic and jalenpenos. It is delicious!

My family loved this recipe. It's quick and simple. I added onion and I think when I make it next time I'll add in some canned mushrooms. I'll definitely add this to my list of recipes I make for dinners.

This recipe is a WINNER! No, seriously, I won a Soup Cook Off fundraiser at work with this one. I did the recipe times two, adding onion, garlic and cabbage, along with some red pepper flakes and cajun seasoning, and allowed it to simmer in a crock-pot until the lunch time cook-off. It beat out five other soups and was one of the first ones to sell out! Rave reviews.
