1 1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

In a large pot, cook bacon until brown and crispy. Move bacon to paper towel lined plate.
Add sliced sausage to bacon drippings in pot and brown on both sides. Move sausage to plate with bacon.
Add ground beef, onion and garlic to the pot and cook until the beef is no longer pink.
Add flour, salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika and Worcestershire sauce to the pot. Stir until spices are well distributed and cook for a minute or 2.
Add diced tomatoes, beans, green chilies, corn, potatoes, cooked bacon, cooked sausage, and water to the pot.
Bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender.

Notes

Be sure you are including all of the liquid from the cans of beans, tomatoes, chilis and veggies.
If your stew seems to be a bit thick to your liking, add in a bit more water or broth.
Sprinkle a bit of fresh parsley before serving for a bit of added color.
