cowboy stew

Dinner&#039;s on! My Cowboy Stew recipe combines three types of tender meat with beans &amp; veggies in a one-pot wonder delicious enough to everyone!

Cowboy Stew

bacon, (chopped)

(12-ounce) package kielbasa sausage, (cut into 1/2 inch slices)

beef, (80/20)

onion, (diced)

garlic, (minced)

all-purpose flour

salt

black pepper

chili powder

can petite diced tomatoes, (with liquid)

(16-ounce) cans baked beans, (with liquid)

(7-ounce) can chopped green chilies, (with liquid)

(15-ounce) can sweet corn, (with liquid)

russet potatoes, (peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes)

water

parsley, (chopped)

Cook bacon until brown and crispy in a large pot. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.

Add the sausage to pot drippings and brown on both sides, adjusting heat as needed so fond (brown bits on the bottom of the pot) does not burn. Remove to the plate with bacon; set aside.

Add beef, onion, and garlic to the pot and brown until the beef is no longer pink. Sprinkle flour, salt, pepper, and chili powder over beef. Stir and cook for 1 minute.

Add diced tomatoes, baked beans, green chilies, sweet corn, potatoes, bacon, sausage, and water. Bring to a boil then immediately reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Garnish with parsley.

Add additional water if stew is too thick.

Cowboy stew is a hearty dish filled with ground beef, smoked sausage, potatoes, beans, &amp; mixed vegetables - perfect for a chilly night.
