This hearty stew uses beef jerky, hominy, onions, and potatoes. This is a great recipe to take along on your camping trip. Plan ahead to soak the dried hominy overnight.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 2 hours, 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound beef or buffalo jerky
  • 1 cup whole dried hominy, soaked overnight in ample water
  • 1 large yellow onion, peeled and chopped
  • 1 pound potatoes, unpeeled and diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Break the jerky up into 1-inch pieces and place in a heavy, lidded kettle. Drain the hominy and add to the jerky, along with the onion. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, until the hominy is tender, about 2 hours.

You will have to watch this closely, as more water will have to be added as you go along.

Add the potatoes and cook for an additional 20 minutes. Season stew with salt and pepper.

Yield: about 6 servings
