Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef (10% fat)
  • 3 medium russet potatoes, sliced
  • 1 white onion, diced
  • 2 celery ribs, sliced
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 15 oz. can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 21 oz. Campbell’s tomato soup (two 10.5 oz. cans)
  • 1 oz. packet taco seasoning
  • 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat on the stovetop, brown the ground beef until fully cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat to keep the stew from being greasy.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker. Add the sliced potatoes, diced onion, sliced celery, sliced mushrooms, rinsed kidney beans, tomato soup, taco seasoning packet, and water. Stir all ingredients together to combine well.
  3. Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on the low setting for 7 to 8 hours. Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain heat and moisture inside for thorough and even cooking.
  4. Finish and Serve: After cooking completes, give the stew a good stir to mix the flavors, then serve hot. Optionally, top with shredded cheese or your favorite garnishes for extra flavor.

Notes

  • For a thicker stew, reduce the amount of water by 1/4 cup or cook uncovered for the last 15 minutes.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for more variety.
  • Using lean ground beef helps reduce excess fat, but you can use other ground meats like turkey or chicken if preferred.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and freeze beautifully for up to 3 months.
