Cowboy Stew II

I learned this recipe in the Boy Scouts and it is the perfect recipe for guys living on their own. It's quick and easy and very difficult to mess up. If you have a slow cooker, let it stew for a day or so. You'll be ready to go out and herd cattle after eating this!

• 1 (28 ounce) can stewed tomatoes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.

Step 2

In a stock pot or Dutch oven, combine the ground beef, tomatoes, corn, green beans, red beans, and onion. Season with oregano, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and simmer for at least 50 minutes over medium to low heat. The longer it cooks, the better it gets!
