Ham Chili Stew

"This is a great way to use up that leftover ham! Delicious, quick & easy. Don't be afraid to vary some of the ingredients as desired. Don't like olives or so many beans? - leave 'em out - it will still taste great."

  1. Key Wee, this was good chili, very unusual, but good. I needed to use up some ham, so I'm glad you posted this recipe. I didn't have a red bell pepper, nor did I add the salt. It still tasted good. My husband and I thought the 1 tsp. of thyme was a bit too much, so the next time I will only add 1/2 tsp. I didn't have any picante sauce, so I used a medium flavored salsa. At least the salsa had green peppers in it, so it was a substitute for the red bell pepper. We liked the variety of beans used in this chili. Also, I did not add the black olives. I couldn't find them. I'm certainly glad you posted this unusual ham chili. "It was good "!
     
  2. Very good recipe, I did use 1 cup of red wine in lieu of the water and added two teaspoons of ground cumin. Will definitely make it again. Thanks for submitting the recipe.

Can't believe I've been a member here for 18 years! It's changed a lot since the old RecipeZaar days and maybe or maybe not for the better. It used to be a community and now it's just a tool. Sad, but life goes on. I have been in Kentucky for 12 years now and enjoy the country lifestyle, along with master gardening. Recipes I've found here since Day One are still in my rotation. Don't entertain that much anymore, so finding new and exciting foods is no longer center stage. Just glad to have so many good recipes to fall back on because eating out is expensive and sometimes too far to drive.
