Snowstorm Stew

Submitted by KEM 2

"When stuck inside during a snowstorm I threw this together using mostly canned ingredients and a few fresh veggies. The majority of the flavor comes from the Ranch Style Beans. If you don't have Ranch Style Beans try substituting with a can of chili. Yummy, definitely keeps you warm inside!"
