Hopi Corn Stew

This was a surprise for me because I don't usually like ground beef in stew. However, I do love Hominy so
maybe that is why this soup has now become a favorite. It is so tasty. This recipe will most likely be more then your family can eat so you can either freeze it, eat it for leftovers or just cut the recipe in half. But when it freezes so well, why would you do that? :)

3 lbs. ground beef

2 large onions, diced

2 tbsp. Chili powder

7-10 potatoes, diced

1 lb. carrots, diced

3 cans hominy (I used 2 cans white and 1 can yellow)

3 cans peeled tomatoes with liquid, chopped

2 can chopped green chilies

3 cups beef broth

1/2 tsp. salt (or to taste)

1/2 tsp. black pepper (or to taste...my family likes pepper so we use more)

Cook ground beef in large pot until brown; stir in onions and saute until soft and translucent. Add Chili powder. Cook for about 2 min. Add carrots, hominy, tomatoes and chilies. Pour in beef broth. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Add potatoes and cook another 1/2 hour or until potatoes and carrots are tender.
