Chili or Stew? Classify my concoction. > General Discussion

Posted: 10/27/2008 3:38:22 PM EDT

So I started out yesterday intending to make some chili but it kind of morphed into some sort of spicy, southwestern...stuff. I really dont know what to call it.

It has:
Ground Bison
Onion
Black beans
Red Kidney beans
Pinto beans
Tomatos
green chilies
Corn
Various spices (Red pepper, Cumin, Cayenne pepper)

It is made the same way as chili and it is thick enough that a spoon will stand up in it. What say ye ARFCOM? What is this stuff I have made?

Sounds like "Whatchagot Stew".

And sounds mighty tasty.

Some may say the correct answer is "both".

An option desperately lacking from your poll.

I would say you made green chile stew, or a version of it at least.
It needs potatoes, IMO, to truly qualify.

Instead of corn, try adding yellow hominy.

if it has chili powder in it it's "chili", otherwise it's stew.

Corn tortillas are made with hominy. The OP's recipe reminds me of taco soup, which has beans, beans and hominy in it, among other things.
