This recipe is used in Branson, MO at the Christmas on the Trail show at Shepherd of the Hills. To me it's kind of a cross between chili and stew. And, although I'm not usually a big fan of chili I love this! (I've guessed on servings.) I'll admit... I don't always wait 4 hours. It's good right away, too!

This is delicious and very easy to make! I like making this because it's tasty and it makes plenty of leftovers for later in the week. And it's even better heated up a day or two later! Serve with homemade cornbread! Found this recipe in the Texas Country Reported Cookbook, which is one of my favorites! I'm not real sure about the cooking time, but I think it takes about an hour!
