This delicious stew from Canadian Living can also be made in the crock pot; just omit the two cups of water or else it will be more like a soup! Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours. The recipe also calls for ancho chili powder which is not widely available. If you can get it, by all means add it for a little extra kick, but it is perfectly fine without as well. Serve with basmati rice and a nice green salad.
