3 Bean Stew Recipe

"This is a campfire type dish that my 3rd son(who wants to remain anonymous)came up with one evening for dinner. It is very quick and with the exception of the meat, it all comes from canned goods. Hot, filling and a favorite at our house. We serve it like chili with crackers or corn bread. Could also be topped with chopped onion, and shredded cheese."
