Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown 1.5 to 2 pounds of ground beef until fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess grease and transfer the beef to the Crock Pot.
  2. Layer 5 thinly sliced russet potatoes, 5 diced celery stalks, and 1 diced large onion on top of the browned beef.
  3. Add two 15oz cans of whole kernel corn and two 15oz cans of red kidney beans with liquid over the vegetable layer. Then, add one 15oz can of diced tomatoes.
  4. Pour in a 10.5oz can of Campbell’s tomato soup and sprinkle garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste over the top.
  5. Cover the Crock Pot with its lid and set it to low, cooking for 6-8 hours.
  6. After 6 hours, check the potatoes for tenderness. If they are soft and fork-tender, your Shipwreck Stew is ready to serve.
  7. Scoop the hearty Shipwreck Stew into bowls and serve with crusty bread or oyster crackers.
