Default Cowboy Stew

I was just wondering what to cook for dinner tomorrow -- I did a poor job
of meal planning this week -- when my mother-in-law dropped off a big
container of cowboy stew and a plate of cornbread. Her cowboy stew is a
hearty, comforting soup with ground beef, onion, green peppers, corn,
beans, tomatoes, and potatoes. I think she uses Ro-Tel tomatoes and
ranch beans and seasons it with chili powder. It has a mild chili
flavor. You can top it with cheese, onions, hot peppers, hot sauce,
tortilla chips, sour cream, etc. Just the thing for the turn of the
season.

It's a brand name, canned diced tomatoes/green chili peppers. The
original is slightly spicy. They also sell a hot version made with
habanero peppers. I don't mind spicy food but Ro-Tel isn't something I buy.

Ok thanks, Jill. I haven't seen anything like that but then you know what
we are like for the 'hot' stuff so it's not something I would look for. It
is always good to know what is out there though.

You're welcome! Yes, it's nice to know what is out there. I know you
don't like hot/spicy food. Hey, I don't want what I'm eating to scorch
my tastebuds, either. I'll never understand those in search of the
hottest hot pepper sauce they can find. Macho posturing.

I'm sure I've mentioned, my ex-husband didn't believe the tiny Thai
peppers my dad was growing could *possibly* be hot. Because they were
very small peppers. We told him they're very hot. He plucked one off
the pepper bush, bit into it and chewed. Big mistake! Believe us now?

How is searching for the hottest of anything macho posturing Jill? Some of
us simply like very spicy foods. I will routinely ask for the hottest thing
that they have in a pepper shop or hot sauce shop, not to posture but
because I like it!

I was surprised to see Ro-Tel commonly available in the grocery stores in
Kuwait.

If you went grocery shopping over there, then other Americans did too
- Kuwaitis know what Americans want (especially those from the south
and southwest).

Substitute a can of stewed tomatoes. It has peppers, but they are
bell peppers - so no heat.

Oh I use a lot of bell peppers, but I've never seen them mixed in a can with
tomatoes.

I bouhgt a can a while ago just to find out what everyone was talking
about, to me Ro-tel are nothing to talk about, there are plenty of
other brands of canned tomatoes that cost half as much and are twice
as good.

Tomatoes and chili peppers. I bought a can of it years ago to make some
sort of dip to serve with tortilla chips. It's not something I go
looking for or use in regular cooking.

I bought two cans using a coupon. I don't see what the big deal is. Not
bad but not all that great either. I did like the seasoned tomato sauce but
mainly only because I got it super cheap on a closeout. Made really good
rice.

I never see coupons for anything I'd consider useful.

Your comment really surprises me. I check coupons plus my mother sends
them to me each week. I will look through many but I only pull out a
few to use. I don't use many but the ones I do save (things I will
buy eventually) add up to quite a bit of savings in the long run.

Plus sometimes you can get free things to try....just to see if you
like it. Free works for me

I do! Angela's razors and shaving cream are always purchased using coupons.
I prefer the cheap, 2 blade razors and can make do with soap shower wash.
Shower wash is almost always bought with a coupon as is most of our shampoo
and always our hair color. I also use coupons for toothpaste, mouthwash,
toothbrushes, various other cosmetics including nail polish, laundry soap
and laundry additives, sometimes cat food and treats. I don't generally use
air fresheners and am picky about cleaning supplies but those things have a
lot of coupons for them.

I do use less coupons for food than I did in the past. Most of the food
coupons are not for things that we buy. I do get the one for California
cheese a lot but never find that cheese here. I do see a lot for various
hot sauces and BBQ sauce but neither are things that we use. I have used
coupons for rice, beans, once in a great while canned soups, margarine,
olive oil, bottled water and soda, canned olives, canned fruit, even bagged
salads and other produce items. And there are frequently coupons for lunch
meats and hot dogs.

There are also coupons for paper goods and plastic bags. I don't usually
use the paper goods coupons because I am not brand loyal there and will
often use the cheap kind. Plus the coupons aren't usually high value.

When I shop at Target, I often use coupons. They have their own store
coupons and you can usually combine these with the manufacturer coupons plus
your Cartwheel. And then they'll usually give you some upon checkout for
the next time. Often a generic one for something like $3.00 of any frozen
food, or produce. Once I got one for a free pizza. Often these things are
not things that we'll eat so I will donate them. Either to the person I
know who will take them or if non-perishable, to the food bank.

Ro-Tel is the brand name. They make a variety of tomato products but I
think what people are referring to when they use just the name is a mix of
chopped tomatoes and chilies.
