texas cowboy stew

You possibly will not accept that it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes texas cowboy stew but it can happen. It is pivotal to not eat texas cowboy stew or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1500 to 2000 calories per day, and then 1 day, I eat whatever I want - within moderation of course.

I have been eating like this for the last month and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise habits or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have just been careful of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

On my one free day per week, I tend to eat tex-mex food. I never imagined I could lose 5 kilos while eating tex-mex meals but am very elated to see it can happen. If you would like to try some tex-mex food, I suggest you make texas cowboy stew which is one of my best loved tex-mex recipes.

Texas Cowboy Stew

6 slices bacon
1 cup sliced onions
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 cups cubed potatoes
2 large cans tomatoes)
1 can corn, drained or 1 cob corn, cut off

Fry bacon, remove from skillet. Saut? onions and bell pepper in bacon drippings. Add beef and garlic. Brown together and simmer for 30 minutes.

Add salt, pepper, chili powder, tomatoes and potatoes. Cook over low heat until potatoes are done. Add corn; simmer 10 minutes.

Crumble bacon over top.

You can adjust the recipe to make it quite a bit healthier or with fewer calories as this can help you to lose 5 kilos quickly. It worked for me and could help you to lose weight also.
