1 can Great Northern beans
1 can Chili Hot red beans
1 can beans and ground beef
1 can minestrone soup
4 double handfuls of peeled and cut-up potatoes, carrots, and onions
8 slices of bacon
2 beef rib steaks, cut into chunks
3 lbs. stew meat
2 cans Texas style biscuits
1 lb. butter

Brown all meat in skillet. Line stew pot with bacon. (If done properly, you don't have to stir.) Put in all other ingredients in casual manner. (Casual is the operative word here.)

Cook on open fire until almost done and the aroma has you sucking on your lapel. Bake biscuits. Spread biscuit halves with butter. Pour on stew and dig in.
