Pirates Stew

Pirates Stew—based on the Fix It and Forget It cookbook recipe.  We basically clean out the refrigerator to make this.

1/2 cup to 1 cup chopped onion

1-2 lbs ground beef or turkey, cooked

3 cups diced raw potatoes

1 cup diced celery

2 cups canned kidney beans, drained

1/2 cup frozen corn

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 cup tomato sauce

1/2 cup water

1/4-1 cup cooked brown rice

Mix all ingredients except brown rice in crockpot.  Cover. Cook on Low for 4-6 hours or until the potatoes are cooked.  Add rice at the end to avoid mushy rice.

Variation:  We also often add 2 cups sliced carrots as well.
