Ingredients

4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 lb lean beef stew meat (1/2-inch pieces)
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cans (14.5 oz each) diced tomatoes with mild green chilies, undrained
1 jar (12 oz) home-style beef gravy
2 tablespoons chili sauce
4 unpeeled small red potatoes, diced (2 cups)
2 medium carrots, sliced (1 cup)
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn (from 12 oz bag)

Steps:

In 4-quart saucepan, cook bacon over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until cooked but not crisp. Drain all but 2 tablespoons bacon fat from saucepan.
Add beef and onion to bacon; sprinkle with seasoned salt and pepper. Cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until beef is beginning to brown and onion is tender.
Stir in tomatoes, gravy and chili sauce. Heat to boiling. Add potatoes and carrots. Cover; cook over medium-low heat 50 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is tender.
Stir in corn. Cook uncovered 10 to 15 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until corn is tender.
