Pokyny

In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef with chopped onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink and the onions are tender. Drain excess grease if needed.

Add diced potatoes (and carrots, if using), baked beans, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and water or broth.

Stir everything together, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.

Cover and cook for 25–30 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender and the stew has thickened.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Serve hot with cornbread, crackers, or crusty bread on the side.
