1 tbsp. butter
1 lb. ground meat
1 onion, chopped
4 green onions, chopped (using green tops)
1/4 c. chopped celery
1/2 c. chopped bell pepper
1/2 clove garlic, minced
3 c. water or enough to make sauce without scorching
1/4 tsp. sugar
1 (No. 3) can tomatoes or 4 c.
1 (16 oz.) can whole kernel corn
1 (32 oz.) can ranch style beans
6 med. potatoes, peeled and cubed
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp. chili powder

In a 5 or 6 quart Dutch oven, melt butter. Add ground meat and brown well. Add onions, celery, bell pepper and garlic. Saute with browned meat until soft. Add salt, pepper, chili powder and sugar and stir well. Add tomatoes, corn, beans, cubed potatoes and water.

Stir all together and bring to a boil, stirring often to keep from scorching. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until potatoes are soft, about 30 or 40 minutes. If time is short, potatoes can be boiled separately about 15 minutes. Drain and add to other mixture. Makes 8 servings.
