Prunes flavour this rich sweet-and-sour beef stew. If using beef stock instead of beer, reduce the salt by half.
Ancho and chipotle chili peppers are available in the spice section of most grocery stores. They add the heat, so if you use the chili powder alternative, you may want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Tensions melt away when you open the door to welcoming aromas of this hearty stew. Since it has lots of flavourful liquid, you'll want a loaf of crusty bread to mop it all up.
Gumbo is a Creole specialty of New Orleans that typically contains sausage, chicken, ham, shrimp, crab or oysters. Its stew-like consistency makes for a hearty dish. To give it an authentic twist, top with a pinch of filé powder, made from ground dried sassafras leaves, if you can find it. But don't worry if you can't: This gumbo is equally delicious without it.
For many families, a meat sauce is part of a rotating monthly menu. We've added bacon for smokiness and boosted the depth of flavour with a little red wine. This sauce freezes well, making it a great option for weeknight dinners. Simply reheat and serve over the hot cooked pasta of your choice.
