Start the week out right with Regina S.’s Southwestern Beef Stew. With a few minutes of prep in the morning, the Topeka, Kansas cook welcomes her gang home with this jazzed-up beef-and-veggie combo.
Warm slices of Maple Syrup Corn Bread complement the spicy stew perfectly. Roger H. of Plymouth, New Hampshire created the golden bread with a hint of sweet maple syrup.
APPEALING PARTNERS
- Apple slices with cinnamon
- Hot chocolate
PRACTICAL TIPS
- To perk up the stew’s flavor, use a spicier picante sauce.
- Regina often adds a 6-ounce can of small pitted ripe olives to the entree for extra taste.
- Combine the dry ingredients for the corn bread ahead to save time Monday.
