Ham Chili Stew Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook the ham, onion, green pepper and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in tomatoes, beans, picante sauce, tomato sauce and water if desired. Bring to a boil. Stir in the olives, bouillon, thyme, salt and pepper. Reduce heat, simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes. Garnish with cheese.

Steps:

• In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine all ingredients; mix well. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours or until the potatoes are tender.

Steps:

• Warm olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in onions and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ham; cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in the chopped cabbage and water. Cover, and simmer 10 minutes.
• Stir in potatoes, carrots, celery seed, caraway seed, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cover, and simmer 10 to 12 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium low, stir in the greens, adjust seasonings, and cook for 10 minutes. Serve with bread.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring potato, carrots, and onion to a boil in 1 1/2 cups water.
• Reduce heat; cover and cook 10 minutes.
• Add peas and ham; return to a boil.
• Add soup and cheese.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes or until smooth and heated through.

Steps:

• Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, cumin, thyme, bay leaf and dried red pepper and sauté 5 minutes. Add ham hocks, broth, tomatoes and garlic. Simmer until ham hocks are tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Transfer ham hocks to work surface. Remove meat and cut into bite-size pieces. Discard fat and bones. Return meat to pot. Add hominy and simmer until hominy is just tender, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Reheat until heated through.) Ladle into bowls and serve.

Steps:

• In a large sauce pan or dutch oven, over medium heat, cook bacon and onions until tender.
• Add tomatoes, stirring to break up (or use diced tomatoes.) Stir in beans, ketchup, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin and hot pepper flakes.
• Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.
• Add ham, cook 10 minutes longer to warm through.

Steps:

• 1. In crock pot, toss in ham bone. I used one from my spiral cut ham that was cooked night before and frozen overnight.
• 2. Dump in frozen green chilies straight from tub, if you can get it to pop out.
• 3. Add dried onions. We love them, so 1 cup may seem like quite a bit. I promise that this will not be what you taste in the end. :)
• 4. Add one and half cup of water and liquid smoke.
• 5. Add the can of veg broth.
• 6. Chop up the carrots. I didn't even peel these suckers. Sliced them up and tossed 'em in the pot.
• 7. Clean up the 2 small- medium (depends on your taste, I didn't want them to take over with their consistency when blended). Chop potatoes into about 1/4" cubes. Not terribly important, will be blended. I didn't peel these either.
• 8. Toss in cube of beef bouillon.
• 9. Roll lime around a bit to make it juicy. Cut in half and squeeze into pot. Watch for seeds.
• 10. Toss in the teaspoon of dried jalapenos, if you can handle them. The kind that I buy are kinda hot when simmered.
• 11. Coarsely chop garlic cloves. We LOVE garlic, too, but use the amt makes you feel comfortable. I assure you that this also will not be what you taste in the end. :)
• 12. I buy a large bag of peeled garlic cloves from Sam's. It's a lovely short-cut, but the garlic must be inspected for white spots when buying. Learned that the hard way.
• 13. Set Crock pot for 3 hours at high. Mine has programming so I am able to also add 1 hour at low.
• 14. Remove ham bone or other bones used.
• 15. Scoop most of the hot stew into a blender or processor. Pulse until smooth. I left about a cup to two cups of stew in the crock so that there is a little chunky texture in the end. Add smooth mixture back to the crock pot. And set it for another couple hours.
• 16. Add Bulgur Wheat or other grain.
• 17. Dump in 3 cans of Hatch green chilies and stir pot up. I added an extra splash of water here.
• 18. Allow pot to cook until grain is hydrated. This took mine less than half hour.
• 19. I served the stew over Frito Corn Chips with cheese grated on top. To mine, I added the little bit of ham that cooked on the bone

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, cook the beef, onion and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
