Perfect Dinner for Snowy Day

This is one of my favorite 'staple' winter stews.  It is so easy to make if you don't mind opening a bunch of cans.  I try to keep all this stuff on hand for a last minute dinner plan.


All you do is brown a pound of ground beef, along with one chopped onion, one chopped bell pepper, and then open all the cans and dump it in.  Rather simplistic, but I'll add the 'real' recipe at the end.

Looks and smells yummy!

I got this giant bag of Marie Callender's Cornbread Mix, at Costco.  It is the BEST!!



And then there's the wine,,,,always gotta have wine...(For the price, $9, this is a really good Merlot)

Voila!  Fabulous cold weather meal

1 lb ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 can beef broth (Campbells)
1 14 oz can stewed tomatoes
2 cans of pinto beans (I like Ranch Style with Jalapenos)
1 can creamed corn
2 cans tamales

So here's how you do it....
Brown 1 lb beef, 1 chopped onion, 1 Green Bell Pepper in Dutch oven
Open all the cans EXCEPT the tamales and dump in the pot
Cook one hour
Open cans of tamales, take off the paper, chop and add to the stew.
Cook about 15 minutes to heat the tamales.
DONE!
Ya gotta try this.  Enjoy!
