  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can Ranch Style beans, undrained

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a large Dutch oven or stockpot, brown the ground beef and sausage over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease.
  2. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the remaining ingredients: beef broth, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes with green chilies, corn, Ranch Style beans, black beans, potatoes, chili powder, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For a spicier stew, use hot smoked sausage and/or add an extra can of diced tomatoes with green chilies. You can also add other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers. This stew freezes well for up to 3 months.
