Texas Cowboy Stew Recipe • Comfort to the Max! | Club Foody

 

I’m a summer person and can’t stand the cold 😣! If we’re not going anywhere warm during the cold months, I find some sort of consolation by making my favorite comfort foods. I like the ones that simmer gently on the stove with that beautiful aroma floating through the air.
 
I have a long list of comfort food recipes but it’s even better when it’s made in one pot 🍲! There’s my Turkey Chili Tex-Mex Style (last week was our Canadian Thanksgiving 🍁🦃 and I couldn’t resist making a batch of it), Lamb Keema, Hamburger Helper, Hawaiian Chicken Curry that brings sunshine 🌞 to our table, Chicken Ham Sausage Jambalaya, and many others.
 
Stews are another favorites in our house 🏡. I think of Coffee Beef Stew, Pork Stew with Meatballs, Fish Stew, Slow Cooker Beef Stew, etc. including this one… Texas Cowboy Stew! So satisfying and unpretentious, this is a pot loaded with yumminess. It has a beautiful combination of hearty ingredients, ideal for fall and winter!
 
It’s easy to make with great results! As I mentioned, there’s nothing fancy about this dish but oh boy, is it ever tasty 😋! When I make this one pot dish, I can’t stop thinking about our friends Kathy and Tracy. Next time they come over for a few days or we go to visit them, I have to make it for them…
 
There’s a lot going on in this Texas Cowboy Stew! Bacon 🥓, ground beef, and smoked garlic sausage are a part of this comfort recipe along with onions and spices! When it comes to bacon, if you come across the “maple” ones, I highly suggest you buy it as it adds another layer of deliciousness to the dish!
 
Smoked garlic sausage is what I use. If you make it from scratch and it’s not smoked prior to making this dish, you’ll have to cook it right after the bacon is done. Simply sauté the sausage pieces for 5 minutes and then transfer to a bowl to set aside. Add butter 🧈 in the pot and continue with the recipe.
 
Seldom, you’ll see me using cans 🥫 but there are a few going into this stew. For that reason, I don’t add any salt to the dish. Let’s just see how much sodium content each has…
– Bush’s Baked Beans has 24% sodium
– Rotel has 16% sodium
– Corn Kernels has 10% sodium
– Diced Tomatoes has 8% sodium
Now you can see why it doesn’t need more salt 🧂…
 
A way to reduce it is to make Baked Beans from scratch, buy fresh husks of corn, get some green chilies and make your own Tomates Concassées 🍅. It will take more time to make the stew but you’ll be reducing the sodium intake by over 2/3rds.
 
With a hearty combination of tasty ingredients, this Texas Cowboy Stew will keep you satisfied and coming back for more! Served with crusty bread 🍞, this unpretentious one pot recipe is sure to please your taste buds and your tummy!😉
Bon Appétit! 🍽
