Chuckwagon Stew



You wanna feel like a cowboy, eat Chuckwagon Stew. This is by far Hannah's fav (served with buttermilk cornbread, mmmmm). The key is to use polish sausage. Although not my favorite, my family cleans the slow cooker bowl with this one! (Recipe from allrecipes.com).

1 ½ lbs cubed meat
½ lb sausage
1 onion
2-3 tbsp minced garlic
3 potatoes, chopped
28 oz can of bbq baked beans
BBQ sauce

Brown meat, onion, sausage and garlic in pan. Meanwhile, place diced potatoes on the bottom of the crock pot. Spread meat mixture over top. Spoon baked beans evenly over the top. Add extra bbq sauce to your liking. Cook on low in crock pot for 5-6 hours.

Freezer Variations: If you wanted to have this as a prepped freezer meal, I would only suggest having the meat, onion, sausage (cooked if using breakfast sausage and sliced if using polish sausage) and garlic ready in a freezer bag. Uncooked potatoes do not freeze well (they turn brown) and well, baked beans are easy as they are already in the can! It also freezes up great as an after cooked meal! Freeze portion sizes in ziplock containers for an instant meal!
