As You Like It Stew

A camping recipe from Grandy. The wonderful thing about this dish is that you can use just enough meat to flavor your veggies or all you want. I usually fill the pot 1/3rd full of meat. Last time I made this dish I cleaned out the fridge. Please do not snub the hominy in this recipe. It is simply a blistered corn product with a sweet nutty taste and a barley type texture. Hominy will add needed texture to your dish and not melt away as macaroni does.

Prep Time: 2 hours

Ingredients:

• chili, hamburger, or sausage
• onions, chopped
• celery, chopped
• bell pepper, chopped
• 1 can tomatoes, diced or stewed
• 1 can whole kernel corn
• 1 can green beans, regular cut
• 1 can pinto beans or kidney beans
• 1 can white or yellow hominy, or both for color
• salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation:

Brown the meat and chopped fresh vegetables. If you opt for them, please consider the onion as a must. You can use any mixture of compatible meats, fresh or leftover. Drain excess grease and add the canned goods, liquids included. Optionally, you can use one or two cans of each vegetable. Stir occasionally. Consider serving this with flour tortillas and cheddar cheese. This can cook all day at a safe temperature and will get thicker.

Servings: as needed
Preparation time: the longer the better
