Pirates Stew—based on the Fix It and Forget It cookbook recipe. We basically clean out the refrigerator to make this.
1/2 cup to 1 cup chopped onion
1-2 lbs ground beef or turkey, cooked
3 cups diced raw potatoes
1 cup diced celery
2 cups canned kidney beans, drained
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1/4-1 cup cooked brown rice
Mix all ingredients except brown rice in crockpot. Cover. Cook on Low for 4-6 hours or until the potatoes are cooked. Add rice at the end to avoid mushy rice.
Variation: We also often add 2 cups sliced carrots as well.
