How to Make Texas Ranch Stew

  1. Cook 1 pound of pasta according to package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef, 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and 2 cloves of garlic (minced). Cook until the beef is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 (15 ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 cup of beef broth, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir the drained pasta into the stew and serve immediately. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
