This hearty, spicy beef stew is only for those that can handle the heat. I prefer to make it in the slow cooker, but it can be made stove top also. Great served over mashed potatoes or rice.
'I've been the chief cook ever since I moved in with my father, says Judy Yackey of Kalispell, Montana. 'With its crispy coating, this southern specialty is his favorite meal. He loves it with mashed potatoes.'
Spooning the soy sauce mixture over the top of each piece of pork lets it soak into the meat like a quick marinade. Round out the meal with mashed potatoes and steamed baby carrots.
Dried split peas and smoked sausages are combined in this slow cooker soup with carrots, potatoes, oregano and garlic powder. Allow 5 hours cooking time.
Ancho chile powder, made from dried poblano peppers, adds a mild heat, which is mellowed by the sweetness of the preserves in the glaze. Serve this dish with smashed red potatoes.
