Provided by The Southern Lady

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 28 ounce can Maple cured bacon baked beans, undrained (could use just about any kind of beans)
3 to 4 medium potatoes

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

My dad use to make this dish when I was growing up and I just loved it. Of course his was a little different from mine but just as good. He would refer to it as Rainbow Stew also. Every time I make it I am reminded of him and remember all the times watching him cook growing up. It is called Hobo Stew because you can add anything you can get your hands on to it and it tastes great. It is very pantry friendly since you can pretty much use what you have vegetable wise (or what you like.) You can also add different meats. I have made it with ground longhorn, turkey, and deer. I have also used chunks of meat rather than ground. It is a great way to used up meat you have stashed in the freezer but can't think of what to cook with it (or just not enough of it the meat for it to stand-alone.) Tonight I actually used some cubed steaks I had in the freezer. I just chopped them up. If you use actual chunks of meat I would cut them into 1-inch chunks, brown in the oil before adding the vegetables. You can also play around with the herbs, adding combos you like or fresh herbs you have on hand. I just happened to have some fresh greek oregano my mother-in-law gave me . Just have fun and play around with it. The recipe is very versatile and makes a large pot of food. It is budget friendly too since you can use what is on sale.

Time 1h

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/4 cup olive oil
1 onion, diced
4 carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 lb ground beef
2 tablespoons tomato paste
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup flour
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, with their juices
2 (14 ounce) cans vegetable broth
4 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 bay leaves
4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks (roughly 2 pounds)
2 (14 ounce) cans green beans, drained
2 (14 ounce) cans black-eyed peas, drained
2 (14 ounce) cans hominy, drained
1/4 cup fresh oregano, minced (or 1 tablespoon dried)
salt and pepper

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.

EXTREMELY FRUGAL FOOD: 22 IDEAS THAT DON’T COST MUCH MONEY

From shoestringcottage.com
  • Soup. The great thing about soup is that you can make it out of pretty much anything! It offers an opportunity to use up all of the odds and ends that are sitting in your fridge, such as tired looking celery and carrots.
  • Potato bake. You can do a lot with the humble potato. Try slicing four medium spuds as thinly as you can then add a layer to a greased baking dish. Dot with butter or margarine, add salt and pepper and a small amount of fresh or powdered garlic.
  • Macaroni cheese. Who doesn’t love the warming comfort of pasta with a cheese sauce? You can make it really cheaply by using a packet sauce, stirring it into your macaroni (or any pasta) and topping with extra grated cheddar, browned under the grill.
  • Sardine spaghetti. Because they have such a strong flavour, a can of sardines in tomato sauce is lovely mixed with hot spaghetti. Add some of the pasta water to loosen it a bit.
  • Cheese, onion and potato pie. It may be a bit of a stretch to call this a pie, but it goes down a treat with some baked beans! Cook and mash as many potatoes as you think you will need, and mix in some fried onions.
