Ground Beef Hobo Stew Recipes

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.

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.

Steps:

• Brown ground beef and onion together; drain.
• Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker; heat on low for 8-10 hours stirring occasionally.
• *Note: I've used both condensed minestrone soup and non-condensed (like Progresso). If using condensed I add about 1 soup can of water.
