Crockpot Cowboy Stew

Recipes »  Soups, Stews and Chili  »  Stews

This stew is hearty and has a nice kick to it; real comfort food. Serve with crusty bread for mopping up all the good stew juices. Bagged salad greens make a tasty side.

 "Made this with the Ro-Tel and frozen corn instead of canned. It tasted great, but it was HOT! My husband who enjoys hot stuff said it was a 7-8 on hot scale. I had to dilute mine to be able to eat it (I'm a wuss). Next time I will make it with regular tomatoes and no cayenne, I think." - chsbicunurse

Crockpot Cowboy Stew Preparation

Mix beef, potatoes, corn, onions, tomatoes, and spices in a slow cooker. Do not drain cans if you want this saucy.

Spread beans over beef mixture.

Cover and cook on low heat setting 8-10 hours or until beef is tender.

Garnish with sliced jalapeno peppers, if desired.

Notes

I created this recipe to be extremely flexible to accomodate several palates. If you don't like too much heat or have children, leave the chili & cayenne powders out (and of course the garnish).

    Made it exactly as written. Kind of bland. Definitely needs something. Going to play with it a little.

    Just hadda give thissun a try, was pretty darn good still think there should be another can of baked beans added, just a personal taste maybe but I can't get enough of em! I did love the smokey taste, almost no need for the addition of it anyway!
