How to Make Tex Mex Beef And Beans For A Potluck Dinner

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, brown 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes, along with 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 stalks celery, chopped, until beef is browned and vegetables are softened. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. In a separate bowl, dissolve 2 beef bouillon cubes in 2 cups of boiling water.
  3. Pour the bouillon mixture into the pot with the beef and vegetables.
  4. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (undrained), 1 cup beef broth, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
  5. Cover the pot and bake for 60 minutes, or until the beef is fork-tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. Remove from oven, stir gently, and top with 4 slices bacon, crumbled.
