Possie Stew

"My grandma used to always make this and it is one of my many "Comfort Foods". Cheap, Easy, and really good with homemade cornbread. Enjoy! Sometimes I add only half a can of green chillies, it is your choice."

  1. Very traditional - I wonder if the name is from this origianlly being 'possum' stew, as the ingredients are pretty standard for southern mountain stew with whatever 'varmint' was caught that night...
     
  2. This was easy enough to make but I thought it was a little bland. I can really see adding 1 or 2 chipotle chilies and sauce to kick it up more with a smoky flavor. Thanks for posting. Made for *Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup 2009* game
     
  3. Grandma knows BEST! This is soo yummy for being sooo dang easy.. I didn't think ahead and defrost my turkey hamburger meat, so I just used frozen meatballs from Costco, nuked em' in the microwave for 5- 10 mins. and then doubled the recipe (only using 1 can of green chilies).. I also used diced tomatoes instead of stewed cause that is what I had on hand. PERFECT with corn bread! Thanks for a keeper.. :)
     
  4. This was really good and easy too.I used a can of plain pinto beans and just added a little chili powder to the mix. Good stuff. Served with warm corn tortillas. Thanks for posting.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

What can I say? Mommy of four picky eaters, well 5 if you include my husband. Good recipes for us are few and far between. So when I rate a recipe good it has passed 5 picky taste testers and it must be VERY good. I am a SAHM. I love photography and am always learning something new. I love a good book and recently discovered I am a total History nut. I am the oldest of 8 kids. I have been married to my DH for 9 years. Like I said have 4 kids that keep me going and going and going. Too bad they don't make energizer batteries for mommies, they could make millions.
