Hot Diggity Dog Cowboy Stew

Ingredients:



1 pound ground beef, browned, Drain if you prefer (I used 80/20 and did not drain. Need the calorie and fat count for Don. Also the added flavor enhancer)

1 medium onion (about 1 cup) chopped

1- 28 oz can Bush's Country Style Baked Beans

4-6 Beef Hot Dogs, cut into 1/2" slices (the short way)

3/4 - 1 cup Sweet Baby Ray Barbeque Sauce (use 1 cup if using more than 4 hot dogs)

2 - 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes

1 cup shredded cheese (I used Colby Jack but think a medium to sharp cheddar would add more flavor)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





Directions:





In a stew pot, cook beef and onion over medium heat until cooked through (don't over cook the beef)

Add the remaining ingredients and stir well.

Bring to a boil, then reduce to low to medium low. Cover and simmer until it is heated through and the flavors have blended together.



Added note:

You can top with with your favorite shedded cheese

I did not use salt or pepper because of all the salt in the diced tomatoes, etc. I did add a little black pepper to mine after it was done.

This recipe can easily be doubled without flavor compromising. 1 regular size pack of beef hot dogs should be enough unless you like your stew more dense.

I did this recipe after Don's cancer surgery and had his lower lip removed and "rebuilt"
