Indian Corn Stew

Once again I turned to a Gooseberry Patch cookbook for inspiration and chose something from my newest fall edition: The Harvest Table.
Product Details

My choice was Indian Corn stew. This got good reviews from the kids although I think it needs a bit of something added, perhaps sage? And less tomato sauce, next time I'll make these adjustments and see how it goes.

Indian Corn Stew:
1 lb bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 onion chopped
28 oz. can stewed tomatoes
29 oz can tomato sauce
2 15 oz cans green beans, drained (I used frozen)
2 15 oz cans corn, drained (I used frozen)
pepper to taste
2 c shredded cheddar cheese
Garnish: Crusty bread, butter
Optional: hot sauce to taste

In a large saucepan over high heat cook bacon until crisp; remove and drain most of the fat. Add onion to remaining drippings and saute until tender. Add stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, green beans , corn and pepper; heat through. Ladle into bowls and top with cheese. Serve with bread and butter and hot sauce if desired.
Serves 6

  1. Sounds intriging. With the high cost of bacon (on SALE around here at $4/lb, otherwise $5.59 usually), I wonder if 1/2 a lb would do? if not substituting a cup or so of cubed ham, or spicey sausage. Looks yummy!

  2. Carol: I like the idea of less bacon, the bacon flavor was very strong. I think adding ham is an excellent idea.
