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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Stir in the smoked sausage pieces and let them cook for 4-5 minutes until they start to brown slightly.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Season the stew with chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and taste to adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 9

Serve hot with crusty bread or cornbread on the side for a complete cowboy-inspired meal. Enjoy!
