Beef and Bean Stew

Ingredients:
1 lb. stew meat, cubed
2 cans (16 oz. each) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes
1 1/2 cups frozen corn
1 cup hot water
1 cup chopped onion
1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chilies
2 tablespoons uncooked long grain rice
1-2 tablespoons chili powder *I prefer 2 tablespoons
2 teaspoons beef bullion granuals
1/4 teaspoon salt

2 celery ribs, chopped
1 can (2 1/4 oz.) sliced ripe olives, drained
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce

Directions:
1. Combine first group of ingredients in crockpot.
2. Cook on low for about 7 hours.
3. Add in second group of ingredients and cook for about 1 more hour. Be sure that meat in thoroughly cooked.

Notes:
If you want you can combine all of the ingredients except the tomato sauce in the beginning if you want the celery and olives to be tender. We prefer it to be a little more firm, so I save if until the last hour. Also, know your crockpot. If it cooks faster, you may not need it to cook for 8 hours.
