Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 12 ounces smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
- 3 medium russet potatoes, diced
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 8 ounces canned tomato sauce
- 15 ounces canned pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces canned corn, drained
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess grease and transfer the cooked beef to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, lightly brown the sliced smoked sausage for about 2–3 minutes per side to enhance its flavor. Add the sausage to the crock pot.
Add the diced potatoes, onion, garlic, canned diced tomatoes (with juices), tomato sauce, drained pinto beans, drained corn, and beef broth to the crock pot.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the flavors are well developed.
Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.
Serve the Cowboy Stew hot, with optional toppings like shredded cheese or fresh parsley. Enjoy!
