Ingredients
Bacon:
6 slices bacon, chopped
Meat Mixture:
1 lb ground beef 1 lb Kielbasa sausage, sliced 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 teaspoons chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Additional Ingredients:
2 (10-ounce) cans Rotel tomatoes 2 (15-ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed 1 (15-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained 2 cups low-sodium beef broth 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced 3/4 cup frozen peas Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: In a Dutch oven or large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside.
- Brown the Meat: Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. When the beef is about halfway browned, add the sliced sausage, onions, and carrots. Continue cooking until the beef is fully browned and the onions are soft.
- Add the Spices: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
- Simmer the Stew: Add the Rotel tomatoes, pinto beans, corn, beef broth, and diced potatoes. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a low boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20-25 minutes.
- Finish the Stew: Add the frozen peas and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.
Notes
- You can adjust the spiciness of the stew by adding more or less chili powder to suit your taste preferences.
