How to Make Bean Burger Stew

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a hot Dutch oven or large skillet over medium-high heat. Break up the beef with a spoon as it browns.
  2. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Push the cooked beef to one side of the pan.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the empty space. Sauté 2 stalks celery (finely chopped) and 1 medium onion (finely chopped) for about 5 minutes, until softened.
  5. Stir the cooked celery and onion into the ground beef.
  6. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of Bush's Pinto Beans (undrained), 1 (15-ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup beef broth, 1 teaspoon chili powder (or more, to taste), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 30 minutes, or until flavors have melded and the stew has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally.
  8. Serve hot. Garnish with extra chili powder, chopped cilantro, or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
