Prepare for a classic Montana-style stew with tender meat, creamy sauce, and chunks of potato. This dish combines beef, sausage, and simple vegetables for something comfortingly rich.

8 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 small onion, diced
1/2 pound smoked sausage, sliced in rings

3 cans cream of chicken soup

Melt butter or margarine in a large frying pan. Brown meat in frying pan.
Place meat, potatoes, onions and sausage in roasting pan or any oven-safe dish large enough. Pour soup and 1 can water per can of soup over meat and vegetable mixture. Mix well.
Bake for 4 hours at 400 degrees F. Stir at least 2 times during baking time. In the last half hour, add green beans and stir.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Tried this and my family liked it alot. The reason we rated this at 4 and not 5 stars it seemed 400 deg for 4 hours was to long, stirred once an hour. We will make this again with a little more spice. Maybe @ 350 to 375 degrees....I may try this on the stove top or crock pot?? any reason not too? other wise a Great and Hearty dish for those cold Alaskan Nights!

This is a fabulous stew. It tastes so good. The only problem I had was at 400 degrees for 4 hours; it burned around the edges and stuck to the bottom. Even at stirring every hour on the hour, it still stuck and burned. Was wondering if I could turn the degrees down a bit.
