Black Bean Stew Recipe
This Black Bean Stew will warm you up on a cold Winter night. It will also make you happy because it’s ready in 30 minutes and it’s a one pot meal, which means less dishes, which means immediate happiness. Seasoned ground beef is combined with cans of black beans, diced tomatoes and corn in beef broth and then deliciously simmered. Then you have to serve it with some shredded cheese and crunchy fritos (or tortilla chips!) on top!
How to Make Black Bean Stew
Make the Ground Beef. In a large pot (this is a one pot meal, so we’ll make everything in this pot), brown the ground beef. After browned, drain any fat remaining in the pot. Add a packet of taco seasoning and stir to coat the ground beef.
Add the cans. Add cans of black beans, diced tomatoes and corn into the pot, along with beef broth. Tip: Want it to be extra special? Use roasted corn. Here’s how to cook corn in the oven.
Simmer. Bring to a boil and then reduce to low/medium heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
Serve in bowls, with shredded cheese and fritos on top. If you don’t have fritos you can also add crushed up tortilla chips. If you want it hearty, serve this over white rice (that’s how my family loves it). You can also serve with moist buttermilk cornbread for dipping!
I hope you enjoy this 30 minute black bean stew recipe!
