use a 6 quart crockpot.
The following are 2 versions of very hearty "Hobo Stews"
Hobo Stew* #1
In a large (6 quart) crockpot combine the following items.
Layer in the order given starting with the bottom layer:
1 package Simply Potatoes (diced with onions & uncooked)
1 1/2 pounds ground beef (sauteed with salt, pepper and
chopped onion)
1 15 oz can stewed tomatoes
2 or 3 cans sliced carrots (juice and all)
2 cans peas (juice and all)
1 family size cam Cream of mushroom Soup.
I love this because it is so simple! You literally dump
everything in including the juice from the canned vegetables.
The only thing to prepare is the ground beef.
I do this in the early morning and I start the crockpot on
high for the first hour, then turn it to low and leave it
all day. We really like it and it is so simple. The seasoning
from the sautéing of the ground beef combined with salt and
pepper and onions is enough seasoning for the whole pot.
(cooking time 8 hours) Serve with fresh bread!
Hobo Stew # 2
1 pkg. Simply Potatoes (chopped with onion)
1 1/2-2 lbs ground beef
1 15 oz can stewed tomatoes
2 cans sliced carrots
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
1 cup chopped onion
2 cans peas
see note below
Cook ground beef and onions together, seasoning to taste with
salt and pepper. While ground beef and onion are cooking, empty
the bag of chopped potatoes into the bottom of the crockpot. Then
empty in the cooked beef and onion mix. Then add carrots (juice
and all) into crockpot. Peas can be added the last hour of
cooking. (Cooking time 8 hours).
NOTE: You can add additional salt & pepper if needed. I also
add 1 envelope of Lipton onion soup mix over the ground beef
for added flavoring. Another addition I have made is to add
1-1/2 cups chopped celery. This stew is rich and thick and very
filling. Serve with fresh bread and a salad (if you can eat it all)
