Instructions
- Cook bacon until brown and crispy in a large skillet. Place on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
- Brown the sausage on both sides, adjusting heat as needed so it does not burn; set aside.
- Add beef, onion, and garlic to the skillet and brown until the beef is no longer pink. Sprinkle flour, salt, pepper, and chili powder over beef. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
- Add diced tomatoes, baked beans, green chilies, sweet corn, potatoes, bacon, sausage, and water. Bring to a boil then immediately reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Add additional water or beef broth if stew is too thick. Stir well.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or add cheese for extra flavor and fun.
Serve with biscuits, favorite bread, or on top of mashed potatoes.
