I first came across this recipe in a book by Sandra Lee, of Semi-Homemade. The orginal recipe calls from potatoes and corn. I personally thought it was too much in the carbohydrates so I took out the corn and added a can of kidney beans.
The meat in the stew is brisket. You only need 2 pounds, if you can not find a small 2 pound brisket look for corned beef. The meat in that package of corned beef is brisket, just throw away the seasoning packet that is inclosed.
We used to have eat this recipe twice a month. Super simple to throw together in the morning before work, or great on a cold day. The orginal recipe states it serves six, four is more the correct portion.
Ingredients:
2 pounds beef brisket, cut into bite size pieces
1 Tablespoon taco season
