Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the hamburger in a large pot.
- Drain the grease from the cooked hamburger.
- Add the stewed tomatoes, Ro-Tel tomatoes, chopped onion, and Ranch Style beans to the pot.
- Cook on low heat for 40 minutes or longer, stirring occasionally.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of chili powder or cumin. You can substitute ground turkey for a leaner option or use black beans instead of Ranch Style beans for a different taste. If you prefer a thicker stew, let it simmer longer without a lid to reduce excess liquid. This dish pairs well with Farm Fried Potatoes for a complete meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Tyl's Stew hot, garnished with shredded cheese or fresh cilantro for added flavor. It pairs wonderfully with cornbread or crusty bread to soak up the savory juices. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a fresh salad or as a filling option for tacos. This hearty dish is perfect for chilly evenings.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm the stew on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. You can also use a microwave, reheating in short intervals and stirring in between to ensure even heating.
