                             Wilderness Stew

       Ingredients

       1/2 lb      hamburger
       1/2 lb      bacon -- bits and pieces are fine
       1 medium    onion, peeled and chopped
       2 cans      kidney beans
       salt and pepper

       Method

       Saute the bacon until it is cooked but not crisp; drain and
       crumble the bacon.  Add the hamburger and onions; crumble
       the meat and saute until the meat is browned.  Drain again.
       Add the beans.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Cover and simmer
       for about half an hour.  When done, the stew should be about
       the consistency of chili.

       Notes

       If the sauce needs to be thickened slightly, use a little
       corn meal.  Like many spanish bean dishes, this can be
       served with white rice.
