Step 1

Crumble the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage slices, garlic, and onion, and cook and stir until the beef is no longer pink - about 5 minutes. Drain the grease and transfer the mixture into a large pot.

Step 2

Pour the canned tomatoes, potatoes, pinto beans, corn, diced tomatoes with chilies, mixed vegetables, and water into the pot. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Cover the pot with the lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the stew simmer, stirring occasionally, for at least 1 hour. Serve and enjoy!
