Chili Stew

We made this dish in class the other night. It’s a great dish when time is short. It is fast to make and still has plenty of flavor. It falls somewhere between a chili and a stew, so that is where the name came from. I like it because it can be made from so many ingredients I already have in my pantry/freezer. This is a fun dish to serve for Super Bowl Sunday!!

Can be served as is, or topped with cheese, sour cream or chopped onions.  Perfect dinner for a “chili” night.
