Instructions
-
Brown the Beef: In a 5- to 6-quart deep pot, brown the lean ground beef over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, using a wooden spoon to break up the meat while keeping some larger pieces for texture.
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen chopped peppers, black beans, corn, diced green chilies, 2 cups of water, ground cumin, salt, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
-
Simmer: Cover the pot and allow the stew to simmer for 10 minutes, letting the flavors meld together beautifully.
-
Thicken the Stew: In a small cup, mix 1/4 cup of water with the flour until smooth. Gradually stir this mixture into the simmering stew.
-
Final Cooking: Continue cooking for about 1 minute, or until the stew has thickened to your desired consistency. Serve hot and enjoy the robust flavors of this Tex-Mex delight!
