Brown ground beef and onion.
Add potatoes and contents of all cans, undrained.
Fill one can about half full of water and pour it between all cans to clean them out. Pour the water into the dutch oven.
Add spices (more or less if you like bland or spicy)
Reduce heat to about 225 degrees.
Simmer until potatoes are soft (about 45 minutes), stirring every 5 or 10 minutes.

Serves about 8.

All dutch oven recipes use a 12-inch dutch oven, unless specified. If you have a 10-inch dutch oven, use about 2/3 to 3/4 of the ingredient amounts but keep the temperature and time about the same.
If no temperature is listed, use 350 degrees.
