In the heart of Texas, where cowboys and ranchers roamed the vast plains, there existed a culinary masterpiece that captured the spirit of the wild frontier - the Texas Ranch Style Stew. This hearty and flavorful dish, often cooked in large cast-iron pots over open fires, embodied the essence of Texan hospitality and became an integral part of the region's rich culinary heritage. Its origins can be traced back to the days of cattle drives, chuck wagons, and the camaraderie shared around a campfire. The stew, lovingly crafted with tender chunks of meat, a medley of vegetables, and an aromatic blend of spices, became a symbol of unity and sustenance in a land where the open range was home.

TEXAS COWBOY STEW
Hearty, filling and man-pleasing describes this stew. Link sausage, cumin, chilies, and chili powder is what gives this soup its Southwest flavor. This dish is quick, easy, and tastes best when it simmers in a slow cooker or even on the stove all day. Bake some Mexican cornbread, toss a simple green salad, and you have a great meal.

RANCH STEW AKA COWBOY STEW
This is one of my family favorites that I have made for years. It is super easy to throw together and contains ingredients that I always have on hand. When I make this I have to double the recipe because it tastes even better the next day! Ranch Style beans are a western style pinto bean made with a flavorful sauce. They add a lot of the flavor to this recipe so try not to substitute them if possible.
