Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 12 ounces smoked sausage
- 3 medium potatoes
- 1 large onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 28 ounces diced tomatoes
- 15 ounces red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Begin by chopping the smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces, dicing the onion, and mincing the garlic. Peel and carefully dice the potatoes into small cubes.
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil, then the ground beef, and cook until browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onions and minced garlic to the pot with the beef. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the smoked sausage pieces and let them cook for 4-5 minutes until they start to brown slightly.
Add the cubed potatoes, diced tomatoes (with their juice), kidney beans, pinto beans, beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together until combined.
Season the stew with chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and taste to adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve hot with crusty bread or cornbread on the side for a complete cowboy-inspired meal. Enjoy!
