2 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes
*2 8.5 ounce cans Bush’s Baked Beans
*1 22.5 ounce can Bush’s Steakhouse Grillin' beans

1 14.5 ounce can kernel corn, drained

1 teaspoon ground chili powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a medium to large heavy bottomed pan or Dutch oven, over medium heat, add olive oil and once hot add the beef and onions.
- Break up the beef and cook until browned.
- Add all other ingredients and bring to a simmer, cover and place in the oven for 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- Serve hot.
Notes
* You can use any brand of beans in this recipe, and if using Bush’s Beans, any flavor profile you want. I liked the ‘Steakhouse Beans’ because they had brown sugar and steak sauce as the base, but use whatever flavor you’d like.
*This stew can also be cooked on the stovetop (or a campfire).
