Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 to 2 lb beef stew meat (other meats such as ground beef, chicken, or pork may be used)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 can(s) (14.5 ounce each) petite diced tomatoes
1 can(s) (15.25 ounce) whole kernel corn, drained
1 celery stalk, diced
1 large carrot, sliced
2 to 3 medium potatoes, cubed
1 or 2 dash(es) hot sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Over a medium heat; brown stew meat in olive oil in dutch oven; add chopped onion. Continue cooking until onions are tender. NOTE: Jimmy uses bacon grease in place of olive oil to brown the meat. I missed that step when I started browning the meat.
  • 2. Add tomatoes,corn celery and carrots. Bring to a slow boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour or until beef is tender.
  • 3. In the last 15 to 20 minutes; add potatoes. Increase heat to medium and cook until potatoes are tender. NOTE: If needed, add additional water to just cover the potatoes. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce to your taste.
