GRANDMA'S MULLIGAN STEW
Grandma was born in the 1800's in Kansas. This is her recipe for the perfect fall meal. Crops were ripe and the weather was cooling. (I also like to freeze the needed veggies to make this family favorite during the winter months.)

Steps:
- In a large heavy pot, brown the ground beef well and drain (I like brown, not gray colored meat. more flavor and eye appealing).
- Hold the corn until the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.
- Add remaining ingredients to the beef.
- Add water to cover about 1/2 inch above ingredients (add more if needed later).
- Cook until all ingredients are tender.
- Add corn, cook another 5-10 minutes, adjust salt if needed.
- Serve with a nice loaf of home made bread for a delightful 1 pot meal.
- If I'm in a big hurry, I sometimes start the cooking of the squash and peppers in the microwave so they will tenderize quicker once the ingredients are combined.
- I sometimes serve some form of potato with this to round out the meal a bit.
- Note: I've tried adding things like onions and mushrooms, but it just isn't true Mulligan Stew and the perfection of the flavor balance is lost so I suggest you stay true to the recipe as given.

Steps:
- Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat butter and oil in a 4- to 5-quart wide heavy pot over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then lightly brown chicken in 2 batches, turning over occasionally with tongs, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken as browned to a bowl using tongs.
- While chicken is browning, peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Add onion, garlic, and 1 teaspoon thyme to pot and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes, then add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk in broth and water and bring to a boil, whisking.
- Add potatoes and corn to onion mixture, then cover and simmer over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are barely tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in chicken (along with any juices accumulated in bowl) and cream, then simmer, covered, until chicken is just cooked through and potatoes are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Season stew with salt and pepper and sprinkle with remaining teaspoon thyme.
Tips:
- Use fresh, sweet corn: This is the key to a great corn stew. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but the flavor won't be as good.
- Don't overcook the corn: Corn only takes a few minutes to cook, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough and chewy.
- Season the stew well: Corn stew is a blank canvas for flavor, so don't be afraid to season it to your liking. Common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and chili powder.
- Add your favorite vegetables: Corn stew is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Some common additions include diced potatoes, carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
- Serve corn stew with your favorite toppings: Common toppings include sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro, and avocado.
Conclusion:
Corn stew is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover corn. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
