Jamies Hobo Stew Recipes

SIMPLE AND INEXPENSIVE HOBO STEW - FRUGAL RECIPE

Steps:

• Brown ground beef and drain grease.
• Add browned meat, canned goods, frozen items, onions and bullion cubes to pot or crock pot.
• Cover mixture with water.
• Add salt and pepper to taste. (can also add a punch of rosemary)
• Cook in the crock pot on low for 6-8 hours or in a pot on a low simmer for 2-3 hours (stirring occasionally if on stove top).

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:

• 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.

CAMPFIRE STEW

Steps:

• Heat a cast iron Dutch oven over a campfire, and brown the ground beef, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off the excess grease, then pour in the mixed vegetables, tomatoes, macaroni, and water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cover, and cook until the macaroni is tender, and the stew has reached desired thickness, about 35 minutes more.

SOPHIE'S HOBO STEW

Steps:

• Brown the meat in the oil in a dutch oven. Add everything else.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer and cook until everything is cooked through.
• Alternatively, this can be cooked in a crockpot after the meat has been browned. Add a little water to the pan and deglaze if using this method. (When I cooked my stew, I used this method. I did not add the beef broth, however. I just added 3 tsp of instant beef broth seasoning.) Cook about 6 to 7 hrs on low.
• Serve with hot biscuits or cornbread.
