How to Make Beef and Corn Stew
Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 cup potatoes, chopped in 1/2 inch cubes
• 1/2 cup onion, diced small
• 1 can whole kernel corn
• 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon
• 1/3 cup tomato sauce
• 2 cups of water

Directions:

1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Make sure to break it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Once it’s brown, drain the excess grease from the pot.

2. Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until the onion is translucent. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

3. Pour in the water, tomato sauce, and chicken bouillon to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

4. Taste the mixture. If you think it needs more flavor, adjust the seasoning by adding more bouillon or tomato sauce as needed.

5. Add the chopped potatoes and corn into the pot, mixing well to combine everything together.

6. Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent the stew from sticking to the bottom. If the stew looks too thick, feel free to add more water.

7. Cook until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Once everything is cooked through, serve warm and enjoy!
