SOUTHWEST STEW

Category: Stews

2 lbs ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 (14.5 oz) can peeled and diced tomatoes
1 (15 oz) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15.25 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
4 potatoes, cubed
1 cup medium salsa
2 cups water
1 tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Cook ground beef and onion until done. In a large pan add beef, onion, tomatoes, beans, corn, potatoes, picante sauce, water, cumin, salt and pepper to taste, and garlic powder. Simmer, covered, for 45 minutes. I like to use slow cooker and let it simmer all day. Serve; top with cheese.
