Before starting, wash and dry all produce.Heat Guide for Step 3: 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) mild, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) medium, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) spicy Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces. Drain, rinse, then pat dry half the can of corn (whole can for 4 ppl).
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. (NOTE: You can also use a very large non-stick pan.)When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil , then beef.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The stew delivers bold, satisfying flavour with a pleasant kick; some found it too salty and recommend adding extra water gradually to balance it out.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to make, and some reviewers noted it freezes well for an easy meal later in the week.
- Suggestions: Add black beans, kidney beans, or diced onion to boost heartiness and round out the flavour. Simmering longer helps deepen the taste, and adding extra shredded cheese can mellow the saltiness.
- Spice level: The chipotle powder builds heat quickly, so start with the lower end of the heat guide and taste before adding more, especially when cooking for kids or those sensitive to spice.
- Leftovers: The stew keeps well and freezes nicely, making it a handy option to prepare ahead for a later meal.
