Boy Scout Cowboy Stew

Serves 8.

1 pound ground beef
1 (28 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
2 (15 1/4 ounce) cans whole kernel corn
2 (15 ounce) cans whole green beans
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can canned red beans, drained and rinsed
1 onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper to taste

Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.

In a stockpot or Dutch oven, combine ground beef, tomatoes, corn, green beans, red beans and onion. Season with oregano, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and simmer for at least 50 minutes over medium to low heat. The longer this cooks, the better flavor it has.
