Unlike soups I always enjoyed stews and chowders as a child. They were thicker and suited me just fine. There was a canned stew that I use to look forward to having at the hunting camp. I knew that Paw-pa would have some Dinty Moore up at the fishing camp as an emergency meal and I would always gobble up a can. It was totally gross and I would not eat it any other time but at the camp I would eat it cold and I loved it. Something about it made me feel rustic! I have no idea what is even in Dinty Moore anymore but thought I would make a stew based on that childhood love of mine! I hope you enjoy this stew that was inspired by a great childhood memory of mine! It is hearty and tasty!

Ingredients:

6 1/2 oz Portuguese Linguica (sliced)

1/2 lb button mushrooms (halved)
4-5 small Red potatoes (chopped)

1 garlic clove (minced)
1/2 jalapeno (diced, seeded)
1/4 red bell pepper, fine dice
2 tbsp red onion, fine chopped
