Saddle up, folks! It’s time to rustle up a savory Tex-Mex creation straight from your pantry. This heartwarming Cowboy’s Bounty Soup is bound to satisfy those hearty cravings and is perfect for chilly winter days or your next game-day gathering. As we simmer this concoction, let’s tip our hats to the hardworking cowboys who blazed trails and tamed the Wild West.
Ingredients
Gather these culinary treasures from your kitchen vault:
- 2 pounds of ground beef
- 4 golden Yukon potatoes
- 2 cans of mixed vegetables (undrained)
- 1 can of sweet corn (undrained)
- 1 can of condensed tomato soup
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 1 can of cut green beans (undrained)
- A pinch of salt
- A dash of pepper
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
Instructions
Lasso your apron and mosey on over to the stove. We’re about to wrangle up some flavor!
- Start by peeling and cubing those Yukon Gold potatoes into bite-sized chunks.
- In a sturdy skillet, saddle up your ground beef and give it a good browning. Once it’s cooked, drain the excess grease.
- Round up the beef and potatoes and toss them into a large, dependable slow cooker.
- Now, open those cans of mixed vegetables, sweet corn, condensed tomato soup, diced tomatoes, and green beans, but hold off on draining them. We want to capture all that savory goodness, liquid and all.
- Season your bubbling concoction with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper to suit your taste.
- Ah, here’s the secret trick that’ll set your Cowboy’s Bounty Soup apart from the rest – add those two tablespoons of sugar. Giddy up!
- Mix everything together like a good campfire story and let it simmer on low for 2-3 hours in your trusty slow cooker.
Recipe Notes
Should you prefer fresh or frozen veggies over the canned variety, feel free to make the swap. Just remember, if you do, you’ll need to introduce a can or two of beef stock to ensure there’s enough liquid to go around. But if you’re using canned veggies, there’s no need for this extra step, as they bring both the moisture and the flavor to the party. Yeehaw, that’s it!
Conclusion
There you have it, pardner – a Tex-Mex delight straight from the pantry that’s hearty enough to satisfy even the hungriest of cowboys. As you savor each spoonful of this Cowboy’s Bounty Soup, take a moment to appreciate the hardworking spirit of those who paved the way in the Wild West. So, gather ’round the table, call in the family, and enjoy this delicious concoction on cold winter nights or during your next spirited game-day event. Y’all have yourselves a rootin’ tootin’ good time!
