5:30 CHALLENGE: 5 INGREDIENTS, 30 MINUTES

Eva McClure of Jonesboro sent in a chunky chili variation that her mom, Marilyn Hall, created. "My mom was reading a book about cooking over an open fire which had a recipe called Ranch House Stew, " McClure said. "She started experimenting with it, adding a little of this and that, and came up with this recipe. When she gave my brother John, who was 3 or 4 at the time, a bowl, he looked at it and said 'This looks like "slumgully" ' and the name stuck. Now my whole family makes it."
Struck by the unusual name, I did a quick Internet search and discovered several stewlike dishes with this unusual designation.

Hands on time:   Total time: 30 minutes  Serves: 4

Ingredients:

    1 pound ground beef
    1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
    1 (15-ounce) can whole-kernel corn, drained
    1 (14 1/2-ounce) can stewed tomatoes, tomatoes broken up
    2 teaspoons chili powder, or to taste

Instructions:

In a large, lightly oiled skillet over high heat, brown the beef for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently to break up the meat. Drain if needed. Add beans, corn, tomatoes and chili powder and bring to a boil, stirring to combine. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

Add-ons: Saute 1 chopped onion with the ground beef.

Notes:

Eva McClure doesn't drain the beans and corn, but I prefer to. Add the tomatoes with their juices, breaking them up for added texture.
