Category: Stews

1 lb bacon, chopped
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 lb white onions, peeled and chopped
24 ounces V-8 vegetable juice
2-1 lb cans tomato, chopped with juice
2-1 lb cans green beans (any but French style) with juice
2 lbs white potatoes, peeled and cut into 1" pieces
2 cups beef broth
salt to taste

Brown the bacon with 1/2 tsp black pepper until crisp, then remove from grease and set aside. Add the onion to the pan and saute until it caramelizes. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, allowing the potatoes to stay on the bottom of the pot. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Uncover and simmer off some of the liquid.
