Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 to 1 1/2 lbs stew meat Could use leftover roast beef, too
- 1 medium to large onion peeled and chopped
- 2 cups beef broth or 1 can
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup carrots chopped
- 1 cup celery chopped
- 1 cup okra chopped
- 4 medium potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 cups whole kernel corn or 1 can

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions
- In a large pot on top of the stove, bring all ingredients to a boil. Decrease heat to simmer and let cook 1 1/2 hours until meat and potatoes are done.
- You could make this in the crock pot, too. Just cook 7 or 8 hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high. You don't have to use the same vegetables I used in this recipe. Use whatever you have on hand and add the spices you like.
- Makes 3 quarts depending on amount of vegetables you use.
Notes
If you like, you can brown the meat before adding it to the pot. We have done it both ways and it's always delicious.
