I found this recipe for chili stew in a Crock Pot cookbook years ago. I have made quite a few adjustments to the original recipe. I love this recipe because it uses stew meat in place of the typical ground beef, making it a hearty and substantial meal. My family really loves this chili and I hope yours does too!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This lovely beef chili has a subtle sweetness that is a welcome departure from traditional hot and spicy versions. We love the big tender pieces of beef in this chili. Corn throughout is a nice touch of sweetness when you get a kernel. It's hearty and great for game day.
