Famous Alabama Camp Stew
“Either way you go, this is one of the most delicious flavorful stews to ever touch a spoon and my friend Jyl has a firm policy in her family that she always doubles the recipe because folks can’t help but come back for seconds, thirds, and often fourths. The recipe below will serve about 6 people.” - Christy
Carne Guisada - Slow Cooker (Mexican Beef Stew)
“I now know why this recipe got a blue ribbon...it is so delicious! There's only two of us, so I cut the recipe in half and seared all the meat. I let it slow cook for 9 hours, the meat was so tender! The hubby likes his stew over rice so that is how I served it to him with his flour tortillas on the side with butter. I sprinkled cilantro, Mexican cheese and served it with some sour cream on the side...yum! I had mine rolled up like a burrito with cilantro, sour cream and Mexican cheese...this is a make again recipe and is going in my best of 2018 cookbook!” - Teresa
Beef Stew with Beer
“This rich and delicious Beef Stew with Beer is cooked slowly until the beef is tender and falling apart. This soup makes a savory, quick and delicious meal any day of the week.” - Paula
Busy Day Brunswick Stew (Crock Pot)
“This was wonderful! We always eat soup for 2 days and toss the rest, this one we had for 3 and it was completely gone! I used a whole pound of bacon, and 4 chicken breast halves which were shredded part way through. I also used the lard, and tomato sauce. Definitely a keeper! Would like to try the rabbit.” - Valena
Slow Cooker Chicken Stew
“This is one of those easy slow cooker recipes where you literally just dump everything in and turn it on.” - Stacey
Comforting Cabbage Sausage Stew
“There's nothing better than a hearty stew on a cold day. This easy cabbage and sausage stew is full of delicious flavor. The smoky sausage has a nice contrast of flavor from the mild taste of the cabbage. Tomatoes bring a bit of tartness, while the carrots add sweetness. Garlic and pepper are the perfect seasonings for this sensational stew.” - Kitchen Crew
Oven Braised Beef Stew
“Tummy filling comfort food like this Oven Braised Beef Stew and cold weather are a match made in heaven. The magic in this beef stew begins on the stovetop by browning the flour dusted seasoned cubes of beef and then adding a heaping helping of celery, onion, carrots and golden potatoes. It’s finished in the oven where it will braise to tender perfection.” - Melissa
Budget Friendly & Delicious Lentil Stew
“This stew is delicious on it’s own but even better with a side of thick, toasted and buttered bread. I usually make a double batch and freeze individual servings for protein packed lunches later. I hope you get to try out this recipe soon and if you aren’t already familiar with the convenience and flavor of lentils, make it a point to introduce yourself and your family!” - Christy
Fish and Zucchini Puttanesca Stew
“t has been a while since I last had fish and since I was still in the soup and stew mode I thought that I would combine the two ideas and do a fish soup or stew. Luckily I had been mulling over the idea of using the flavours of a puttanesca sauce in soup form and I figured that using fish in such a soup would be perfect!” - Kevin
Navy Bean Stew
“This bean stew is hearty and will warm you up on a cold night. Plus, it's a great way to use leftover ham. I only added salt and pepper as seasoning. The ham and veggies add plenty of flavor. Grab some crusty bread and you have a great dinner!” - Kitchen Crew
Turkey Stew
“We loved this delicious stew! It's quick and easy to make, and a wonderful way to use up turkey leftover from the holidays. I doubled the ingredients to make a larger batch because we wanted leftovers for the following day. I used turkey soup base instead of the chicken bouillon, and I added some poultry seasoning. Other than that, it was made as written. This is definitely worthy of the blue ribbon award!” - Sue
Guinness Beef Stew
“This recipe is an absolute winner. I made it for St. Patrick's Day lunch today, and my father and husband had very gratifying reactions. Thank you so much! It's easy to make. I paired it with Irish Boxty Potatoes instead of mashed, and that worked VERY well. This will be part of our annual family St. Pat's tradition.” - Sarah
Bayou Stew
“Hot and spicy, just what you need on a cold night. This stew isn't too thick but thickens up nicely when served over the rice. Sausage and beef broth give this stew a good, hearty flavor and the cajun seasoning adds a nice kick. Total comfort food!” - Kitchen Crew
Caribbean Stew
“This is my own recipe that I dreamed up out of who knows where. I know it is not really like Caribbean food, but everybody loves it, so no one argues the name. One of my best recipes! If you like sweet and spicy food, give this a try. Let me know how you like it.” - Dietricha
