Story

You'll notice a difference between this stew and the typical stew made 'up north.' Rather than carrots and potatoes, this Southern stew is made with familiar foods found in many dishes below the Mason-Dixon line.

If you're tempted to substitute another green for the kale, I wouldn't advise it. Kale holds up particularly well in the crock pot. Greens like spinach or collards tend to cook down quite a bit.

Add a bit more red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicier taste... or even a couple dashes of hot pepper sauce, like Tabasco.

This is a nice thick stew, not a soup. If you want more of a soup consistency, you can add a can of beef or chicken broth.
