Southwest Stew

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes
• 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
• 4 potatoes, cubed
• 1 cup medium salsa
• 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• salt to taste
• ground black pepper to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

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.
