Will I need fresh garlic in this stew?
Fresh minced garlic is great to add to this Cowboy Stew for the added flavor it brings to the dish. However, you can use jarred minced garlic if that is what you already have at home. It will still work great in this stew.
Can I use an alternative for ground beef?
Yes! If you don’t want to use ground beef, there are other options, including ground turkey, ground pork, and ground chicken.
This is one of the best and most filling meals you can make for your family! it has so much incredible flavor and each bite leaves you wanting more!
Can I add more veggies to the stew?
Absolutely! If you want to pack this dish with added veggies, you can toss in some frozen peas and carrots that will go great with the meat, corn, and beans.
Recipe Notes & Tips
If you don’t have pinto beans, you can use small pink kidney beans as a replacement in this recipe.
When you don’t have a lot of time available, you can always prepare this stew in the slow cooker. If you’re going to do that, you’ll need to cook the meats accordingly beforehand and then combine all ingredients in the slow cooker, allowing everything to blend together for five hours on the high setting or eight hours on the low setting.
Make sure that you’re not draining the liquid of your corn when adding it to this dish. Dump the can in its entirety into the pot with the rest of the ingredients because the corn juice adds more flavor to this stew.
What to Serve with the Stew
You can serve this stew with a side of fresh-baked cornbread. Prepare a loaf of it or make cornbread muffins and serve it on the side of the stew, dipping it into the liquid for added flavor! If you don’t like cornbread, you can serve the stew with slices of crusty French bread.
My Tip:
My all time favorite things to serve this amazing stew is with cornbread or cornbread muffins- even biscuits or garlic bread would be amazing.
