Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz Bacon
  • 14 oz Kielbasa Sausage
  • 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20)
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 can Chopped Green Chilies
  • 1 cup Sweet Corn
  • 2 medium Russet Potatoes
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 can Diced Tomatoes (canned)
  • 1 can Baked Beans
  • 4 cups Water
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Chili Powder
  • 2 tbsp Parsley

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy (5-7 minutes). Remove bacon, leaving drippings in the pot.
  2. Add sliced kielbasa sausage to the pot and cook until browned (3-4 minutes). Remove kielbasa and set aside with the bacon.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high. Add ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking up the beef until no longer pink and onions are translucent.
  4. Sprinkle in all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Stir for 1 minute to combine.
  5. Pour in diced tomatoes, baked beans, chopped green chilies, sweet corn, diced russet potatoes, and 4 cups of water. Stir to combine.
  6. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  7. After 1 hour, check consistency. If too thick, add more water. Adjust seasonings if needed.
  8. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving your hearty cowboy stew.

Notes

  • Cook bacon until crispy for maximum flavor and texture; undercooking can result in a soggy stew.
  • Stir frequently while simmering to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  • For convenience, brown meats first, then transfer to a slow cooker with all ingredients and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  • Adjust spices to personal preference, especially for guests sensitive to spice.
  • This cowboy stew is best enjoyed fresh but reheats beautifully; add a splash of water during reheating to restore creaminess.
