In step where corn and milk is added, add 2 tablespoons chili powder and 1
can green chilies chopped and drained. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese before serving. Frozen stew vegetables may be used if desired. Just cut out the step where raw vegetables are cooked.

ingredients in crockpot and simmer on low for about four hours or until
vegetables are done to the desired degree of tenderness.
