Grandmas Corn Stew Recipes

GRANDMA'S CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large pot over medium-high heat, and cook until crisp. Drain and crumble, reserving about 2 tablespoons drippings in the pot.
• Mix potatoes and onion into the pot with the crumbled bacon and reserved drippings. Cook and stir 5 minutes. Pour in the water, and stir in corn. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cover pot. Simmer 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until potatoes are tender.
• Warm the half-and-half in a small saucepan until it bubbles. Remove from heat before it boils, and mix into the chowder just before serving.

GRANDMA'S MULLIGAN STEW

Steps:

• In a large heavy pot, brown the ground beef well and drain (I like brown, not gray colored meat. more flavor and eye appealing).
• Hold the corn until the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.
• Add remaining ingredients to the beef.
• Add water to cover about 1/2 inch above ingredients (add more if needed later).
• Cook until all ingredients are tender.
• Add corn, cook another 5-10 minutes, adjust salt if needed.
• Serve with a nice loaf of home made bread for a delightful 1 pot meal.
• If I'm in a big hurry, I sometimes start the cooking of the squash and peppers in the microwave so they will tenderize quicker once the ingredients are combined.
• I sometimes serve some form of potato with this to round out the meal a bit.
• Note: I've tried adding things like onions and mushrooms, but it just isn't true Mulligan Stew and the perfection of the flavor balance is lost so I suggest you stay true to the recipe as given.

• Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat butter and oil in a 4- to 5-quart wide heavy pot over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then lightly brown chicken in 2 batches, turning over occasionally with tongs, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken as browned to a bowl using tongs.
• While chicken is browning, peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces.

• Add potatoes and corn to onion mixture, then cover and simmer over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are barely tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in chicken (along with any juices accumulated in bowl) and cream, then simmer, covered, until chicken is just cooked through and potatoes are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Season stew with salt and pepper and sprinkle with remaining teaspoon thyme.

GRANDMA'S BEEF STEW WITH LENTILS

Steps:

• Use a pressure cooker. Seal the meat in a small amount of oil, add onions, garlic, bay leaf marmite and stock. Bring to pressure then turn off the heat and leave the pressure cooker on the stove and allow to come to normal pressure so that you can remove the lid. Do not remove the pressure manually.
• Add the tomatoes, potatoes and other vegetables except the peas, stir well then pour the lentils over the top. Do NOT stir the lentils in at this point or they will burn onto the bottom of the pressure cooker. You have been warned!
• Pressurize the cooker again, and again allow to come to normal pressure.
• Test to check that the vegetables are cooked; if not, re-pressurize.
• Add frozen vegetables and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Stir well and re-heat.
