Tex-Mex Beef Stew

"This is great for chili lovers. If you like it spicy, you can use diced tomatoes with zesty jalapenos. Then just garnish with sour cream and lime wedges."

  1. This was ok for us. I had to add more salt and chili powder to give it some flavor. It was kinda bland as is. It smelled wonderful and I'll make it again, with added seasonings. Made for 1-2-3 Hits Zaar Tag Game 2010.
     
  2. This was very tasty and smelled SOOO good while it was simmering. I would cook it again just for that smell. I added about 1-2 teaspoons of salt and 1 Tablespoon of chili powder. Good recipe! Just note that it is a stew with a tex mex kick, not a chili.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
