When I was living in South Carolina, catfish stew was a popular dish. This is a delicious spicy, tomato-based stew with bacon and potatoes and onions and spices. It is very simple to make and so good to eat. My husband and I would keep the pot on the stove all day and take multiple trips into the kitchen for refills. I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
1 (10.5 ounce) can water
1 cup ketchup
1 cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's® RedHot)
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons butter (Optional)
1 teaspoon browning sauce
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
12 ounces bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces, or more to taste
1 large sweet onion, chopped
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon chili powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 pounds catfish fillets

Directions

Combine condensed soup, water, ketchup, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, butter, and browning sauce in a stockpot over medium heat. Add potatoes, bacon, and onion. Season with thyme, chili powder, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, rinse catfish and pat dry. Cut into bite-sized pieces and add to the stockpot. Reduce heat to a simmering boil and cook, covered or uncovered, until onions and potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.

Cook’s Note

If you like yours with more liquid like I do, double the liquids and the spices. You can use two cans of diced potatoes instead of the fresh potatoes.

The longer your stew simmers, the better it usually is, but I don't have to tell you that!
