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.

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
I've made this dish for several years, it came from one of my 5-ingredient-or-less cookbooks. Even my picky-eater kids (and DH!) like it. It has a bit of a spicy kick so you could use plain diced tomatoes instead of tomatoes with chiles if you prefer a milder taste. I'm posting it here for safe keeping.

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.

BBQ HOBO STEW
This is a summer favorite. I grew up having these...my grandparents made them and then my parents made them. My whole family loves these! You could make them in the oven but for some reason they just don't taste as good as they do on the barbecue! You don't want real lean hamburger as the dish needs some "juices" but you don't want it too greasy either. I usually use the 12-15% fat. If you go with less fat your meat patty and veggies will seem dry. If you don't like any of the ingredients like onions or celery...cook it all together and then pick those parts out. It is important to the taste for it to all cook together.

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!
