Report
Texas Cowboy Stew is a hearty ground beef stew loaded with flavor with potatoes, corn, diced tomatoes, and green chilies, that makes a nice one pot dinner.

Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 6 lices Bacon chopped
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage cut into 1 inch slices
- 1 cup onion diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 (10.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes and green chilies
- 2 (15-ounce) cans pinto beans
- 1 (15-ounce) can whole kernel corn, undrained
- 2 large potatoes (peeled and cubed)
- 2 cups beef broth (recommend low sodium broth)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- salt (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a large dutch oven. When cooked, drain the grease.
- Remove the ground beef and set aside. Cook the bacon in the same pan.
- After the bacon is cooked, remove it from the pan, and add the sausage. Brown both sides of the sausage in the bacon grease.
- Add the onions and cook for about 3 minutes or until transluscent.
- Add the cooked meat, bacon, and sausage back in the pan, and add the rest of the ingredients, except the cilantro.
- Simmer the stew for 30 minutes. Optional: If this stew needs to be thickened after simmering, mash some of the beans and potatoes.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro on top before serving.
- Serve with cornbread, garlic bread, or a salad.
Notes
- Veg It Up. Want to turn this into a complete one-pot meal? Add your favorite vegetables to the stew, such as mixed vegetables, chopped bell pepper, or carrots. I like to cook the vegetables in the ground beef, sausage, and bacon drippings to add flavor.
- Lighten It Up. Change up your protein. For example, use ground turkey instead of ground beef. Use soy protein to make it vegetarian.
- Change The Beans. If you don't like pinto beans, use black beans, charro beans, or ranch-style beans.
- Make It Spicy. If it is not spicy enough, add a couple more teaspoons of chili powder or some cayenne or jalapenos.
- Change The Broth. Instead of beef broth, add chicken broth or vegetable broth.
- Storage. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or freeze in the freezer for up to 3 months.
