The beans and vegetables are the stars of this vegan stew, but you won’t notice anyone complaining—it tastes that good! Our recipe uses chopped fresh kale, but feel free to substitute your favorite leafty green, like spinach or Swiss chard. The stew is naturally gluten-free, but it tastes great with a side of crusty bread if allergens aren’t a concern.

It doesn’t get any more classic than Irish beef stew.

We especially like the addition of a dark stout beer (like Guinness), which adds a deeply roasted flavor.

I made up this dish back in the early 1970s when I was down to very little food in the house. Since it's a combination of barbecue sauce, hamburger, hot dogs and beans, this one-skillet meal makes both children and adults happy. —Val Rananawski, Millville, New Jersey

What’s not to love about a one-pot stew recipe that’s ready to serve in 30 minutes? You only need five simple ingredients to make it: ground beef, baked beans, sliced hot dogs, barbecue sauce and Parmesan cheese. Other sausages work well instead of hot dogs, so use chorizo or andouille sausage if that’s what you have on hand.

Kielbasa is a smoked Polish sausage made with garlic and spices, and it’s the base of this hearty and warming stew. Two cups of shredded cabbage might look like a lot when you’re putting it into the pot, but it will cook down to a manageable amount by the time the potatoes are cooked through.

When this spicy stew's simmering on the stove, my family has a hard time waiting for dinner. It's much like a thick tomato-based soup with a hearty mix of okra, brown rice and beans. Everyone leaves the table feeling satisfied—and eager to have it again soon. —Beverly McDowell, Athens, Georgia

One of our favorite vegetarian stew recipes becomes rich and thick with the addition of okra. This vegetable has a reputation for being quite slimy, but acidity from the tomatoes tempers its weird texture. If you anticipate making leftovers, keep the rice on the side to preserve the stew’s texture upon reheating.

In the southwestern U.S., this stew is called posole or pozole for the Nahuatl word for “foam” (referring to the shape of the corn as it cooks). Hominy looks like corn, but it’s bigger with a chewier texture. The stew is rich and savory, and it achieves the perfect flavor when garnished with avocado and lime.

This stew gets its incredible flavor from chicken thighs cooked in Italian dressing and white wine. You can use chicken breasts if you prefer, but the thighs add a richer flavor. To make the dish feel even more comforting, serve the stew over mashed potatoes.

We don’t always have time to spend all day cooking, so we love having stew recipes like this one in our back pocket. It’s amazing how much flavor can come from so few ingredients! Dredging the chicken in flour before it’s cooked is a great shortcut to thickening the stew without making a roux.

There’s nothing traditional about this recipe, but the ingredients come together to create an exotic dish that’s fun and enticing. The savory lamb, sweet squash and grassy spinach are perfectly balanced by the sauce (a combination of coconut milk, peanut butter, red curry paste and hoisin sauce). Finish it off with a squeeze of fresh lime, and you’ll find yourself craving this stew on the regular!

A carbonnade is a beef stew cooked in beer, but this recipe gives the classic a twist by adding a ton of portobello mushrooms. These mushrooms maintain their meaty texture as they cook and absorb the seasonings in the cooking liquid to become little flavor bombs. You won’t be sorry if you add more mushrooms than the recipe calls for!

Compared to the slow cooker, an electric pressure cooker makes quick work of transforming a boneless beef chuck roast into a pile of tender shredded beef. After pressure-cooking on high for 40 minutes, let the pressure release naturally while you chop the vegetables. While the roast is resting, the stew will finish cooking in only 8 minutes.

The aroma of this Jamaican-style beef stew will fill the entire house, causing stomachs to grumble with hunger long before the stew is ready. We use leaner top sirloin in this recipe, which has a more beef-forward flavor compared to stew meat, and it takes a fraction of the time to become tender.
