GYPSY STEW -- MIDWEST 1960S VERSION
This is cheap, quick, not-necessarilly heathy, definitely politically incorrect, classless, even tacky, but really delicious--especially for kids. Actually, this is probably the first and original "hamburger helper." As a child, we always looked forward to Gypsy Stew when camping--be it at national parks or canoe trips on Spoon River. You'll note in the photo the presence of a bit of barley. That is one of many potential additions to the base recipe; I simply added a 1/4 cup water and a tablespoon of "quick" barley. The recipe begs for imagination. Everything I've said about this stuff is spot on, and indeed constitutes "bumkin eats" its best; but, I bet you can't eat it and not like it.

GYPSY STEW
This was a low cost staple when I was growing up, this is a no frills dish but it is comfort food for me. First time I made this here in Thailand for my wife, she was worried that olives were not going to be goo in this, she was mistaken. She loved this dish. This is a simple, low ingredient dish much like Thai cooking. I do make the condensed soup myself, no canned soups for us. As a variant, top with a fried egg.

Steps:
- Note: Never boil this stew, boiling will ruin it because of the sherry will cook out but on the other hand if it's not cooked enough, it will be bitter.
- Put chicken, onions, garlic, half the sherry, and the both into a large, heavy soup or Dutch oven. If the liquid isn't enough to cover the other ingredients, add more broth or water. Cover the pot and simmer slowly for 1-1 ½ hours or until chicken is cooked.
- Cut chiles into chunks. Using 2 forks, tear tomatoes apart and place in large bowl with chiles and their juices, to mingle together while chicken is cooking.
- Remove cooked chicken and let cool enough so you can pick meat off bones. Add chiles, tomatoes, remaining sherry, salt, and chicken to the soup. Cover and simmer slowly for about an hour.
- Cut chunks of cheese into cubes and place in bottom of individual serving bowls. Pour stew into each bowl; the heat will melt the cheese. Serve with Flour Tortillas and a side dish of guacamole or beans.

JOE GREY SOUP (TRADITIONAL GYPSY RECIPE)
A Romany Gypsy recipe for a cheap and filling sausage and potatoes soup from Paula Stanford. Paula Stanford married into a large Romany Gypsy family 12 years ago. Although they no longer follow the travelling life the family still spends most of the time outdoors and Paula says she is happiest cooking for the family around the fire on a winter's night. This recipe came from her husband Henry and is important to them because it helps to keep their gypsy heritage alive even though they no longer travel. Like most traditional Romany recipes, its easy to make and can feed a large family cheaply.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan and brown the sausages. Remove from the pan and cut each sausage into 3 pieces. Return to the pan.
- Cut each bacon slice into 3, add to the pan and cook until browned.
- Add the onion and cook until browned. Cover the contents of the pan with boiling water, but not to the top of the pan.
- Continue cooking and add the sliced potato. Cook until the potatoes are soft - you may need to top it up with more boiling water from the kettle.
- Add the sliced tomatoes and crumble in the stock cubes. Stir well and simmer until the tomatoes are soft.
- Serve on plates (not bowls) with lots of fresh chunky bread and butter.

24 BEST VINTAGE MIDWESTERN RECIPES - EAT THIS NOT THAT
From eatthis.com
- Chicken Pot Pie. Chicken pot pie is a quintessential Midwestern comfort food. The hearty dish evokes visions of lazy Sundays at home with the whole family gathered around the dinner table as the scent of that freshly baked savory pie fills the room.
- Baked Potato Soup. There's nothing more soothing than a steamy bowl of hearty soup on a chilly Midwestern day. This version of the textbook meat and potato combo skips the usual heavy cream in favor of chicken stock and a splash of half and half, but keeps the all-important bacon and cheddar for that rich, fulfilling flavor that will surely make you ask for seconds—politely, of course.
- Cheese Fries. Nothing screams "county fair," or a hot July ball game, quite like cheese fries. This classic diner food reminds us of our after-school hangouts with friends, but without all the calories and fat.
- A1 Swiss Burger. Missouri, Nebraska, and South Dakota are some of the top beef-producing states, and residents' expertise in creating the perfect burgers goes way back.
- Beer Can Chicken. A cold beer is essential on a hot Midwestern day, so why not pair it with a chicken dinner? Backyard cookouts have only gotten better when grillers realized they could use a full can of beer to prevent meat from drying out.
- Apple Pie. The Midwest turns a million beautiful shades in the fall, and apple pickers head out in pursuit of the perfect brand for their pies. But apple pie is a throwback indulgence all year round in the Midwest.
- Smoky Ribs with Peach BBQ Sauce. On some Midwestern tables, you will find baby back ribs as a weekly staple. In other places, it's a major indulgence. In the summer, pairing with peach BBQ sauce is a fan favorite, and this recipe calls for bourbon as well, making it the perfect ode to our Kentucky neighbors.
- Waffles with Ham and Egg. Breakfast in the Midwest is no slice of fruit and black coffee—it's an experience. This waffle recipe with ham and egg mirrors Denny's popular (and super unhealthy) "Slam" for way fewer calories.
- Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs. A Sunday night tradition, spaghetti and meatballs can have a sneakily high calorie count, but this recipe features turkey rather than beef meatballs, trimming it back a bit.
- Chicago Hot Dog. Flirty, cool nights at the Navy Pier in Chicago conjure up images of an essential Midwest food: the Chicago hot dog. This is not just any old hot dog.
