Step 2: Build the Stew
- Add the 1 tablespoon flour and continue to brown.
- Add the 4 cups water, 4 beef bouillon cubes, 1 (10 ounce) can tomatoes and green chiles, 1 1/2 cups medium hot red chili, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground oregano, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar, and salt to taste.
Step 3: Simmer and Finish
- Simmer on the stove on low, or transfer everything to a high-setting crockpot for 2 hours.
- Before adding the potatoes, precook the 2 large or 3 medium potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape.
- Add the cooked potatoes to the stew and continue to cook until the meat is tender and the flavors are melded.
