Ingredients
  

Cowboy Stew
  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20 recommended
  • 1 lb mini potatoes halved if large
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed tomato soup
  • 1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles original or mild
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • garlic powder optional, to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until no longer pink — about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Transfer the browned ground beef into your slow cooker.
  3. Add the mini potatoes (halved if large), frozen mixed veggies, condensed tomato soup, and Rotel (with juices) to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Stir once more.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add a splash of beef broth if you prefer a thinner consistency.
  7. Ladle into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread, cornbread, or biscuits!
