HOBO STEW

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add in the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the onion is translucent.
• Add the meat and cook until no longer pink. Toss in the tomato paste and cook for roughly two minutes. The color of the paste will deepen. Put in the garlic and cook 30 seconds, until garlic is fragrant.
• Add the flour and stir to coat the meat and vegetables. Allow to cook for 2 or 3 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
• Stir in the tomatoes with their juices. Add both kinds of broth, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, and then carefully place your potatoes inches Stir in the rest of the vegetables (green beans, hominy, and black-eyes peas.).
• Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat and simmer hard (or low boil) until the potatoes are done (you will be able to easily slide a fork in.) It could take up to an hour depending on how small you cut the potatoes. Stir occasionally.
• When potatoes are done remove the bay leaves, stir in the oregano, and salt and pepper to taste.

HOBO STEW

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes covered in water, remove, peel and chop or slice. I use red potatoes because they hold up well in a recipe.
• In a skillet on top of the stove fry the hamburger and onion. Drain the hamburger. Combine ground beef, onion, beans, and cooked potatoes in a skillet, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes.

HOBO STEW

Steps:

• Add all of your vegtables, beans, tomato sauce, broth and your worcestershire sauce.
• Stir everything.
• Add all of your seasoning stir.
• Place your meat on top put your lid on and cook it on high for 5 hours, or low for 9 hours (these are guesses! Cook till done is what I do).

FOIL STEW

Steps:

• Put all foil stew ingredients in the middle of a large rectangle of heavy duty aluminum foil.Bring the foil up so that the ingredients are resting inside in a slightly elongated pile.
• Fold the top edges down together about 1 inch and crease. Fold over and do it again, and then once again. It helps to hold the foil stew up as you do this, because this allows you to keep some extra space in the packet, which helps in the cooking process. In other words, the folds themselves need to be very tight, but the foil stew inside should have a little wiggle room.
• Push the two ends down so that your foil stew is safely in the middle of the packet.
• Fold or roll the ends tightly.
• Get a second piece of foil and repeat steps A-D. Ready for the fire.
• To bake over an open fire, simply place your prepared foil stew on a bed of coals for 25-50 minutes, turning every 10-15 minutes. Check stew after 30 minutes, or 5 minutes after you begin to smell it cooking. See Cooking Time in NOTES below for more information.

BBQ HOBO STEW

Steps:

• Tear off four good sized pieces of aluminum foil to make pouches for the "stew".
• In the center of each piece of foil, place a 1/4 pound patty of hamburger. We generally try to have the patty about 3/4 inch thick.
• Sprinkle meat with seasoning salt and pepper to your tastes.
• Layer on top of the meat, potatoes, then celery and then carrot.
• Fold up foil to make a sealed packet. You want it to be "tight" as you don't want all the yummy juices to run out when you turn them on the barbecue.
• Place the four packets on a heated to about medium barbecue.
• Cook 15 minutes on the first side and then turn over and cook 10-20 minutes.
• Check by opening a packet and making sure the potatoes feel done.
• When the meat and pototoes are done, remove to a plate and let sit for five minutes meat side down to let the juices run back into the meat.
• Dump out onto a plate to serve.
• Sometimes I season the meat like meatloaf before I make the patties and sometimes I serve it with A-1 sauce and or ketchup. The vegetable and the meat compliment each other with their juices. You can add extra potatoes or make the patties bigger -- you are limited only by your imagination!

HOBO STEW

Steps:

• chop up the cabbage put it in a big pot filled with water and let it boil until its done.
• cut up the potatoes and put it in with the cabbage.
• fry up the sausage.
• once the cabbage and potatoes are done strain but keep about 2-3 cups water.
• then add the strained sausage and the rest of the ingrediants.
• The longer you let it simmer the better it tastes! For a personal prefrence in my own bowl i usually add a little hot sauce.
