POOR MAN STEW



Poor Man Stew image

Forty years ago I made this casserole for a friend of mine and she decided it should be called Poor Man Stew. My aunt is responsible for the original recipe and she always called this Five Layer Casserole because of the five layers.

POOR MAN'S STEW



Poor Man's Stew image

I got this recipe from one of my (many) mother-in-laws. She recited it to me over coffee one morning, and I've never forgot it - it's that easy and fast! My kids liked this when they were in elementary school. But later, they liked to make it when they where on their own for the first time. It's also not a bad camp fire recipe.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic, or more to taste, minced
1 pound lean ground beef
2 (15.5 ounce) cans light red kidney beans, undrained
1 (15.25 ounce) can sweet corn, undrained
1 (15 ounce) can green beans, drained

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; simmer, stirring frequently, until butter is browned, fragrant, and foamy, with brown bits in it, 5 to 10 minutes. Add pepper and stir for about 10 seconds. Immediately stir in chopped onion to prevent butter from burning. Add salt and saute, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add ground beef. Cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add undrained kidney beans and undrained corn. Mix and bring liquid to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid cooks down into a sauce that just coats the back of a spoon, 20 to 30 minutes. Add drained beans during the last 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt or pepper as desired.
  • Stir well and ladle into bowls.

POOR MAN'S ARTICHOKE STEW



Poor Man's Artichoke Stew image

This is a recipe my grandmother brought with her from Trieste. It is an alternative to baked artichokes that also uses the tasty meat even from tough leaves. As kids we always thought it was fun to eat! Serve in bowls with crusty Italian bread. Artichoke leaves will be soft near the yellow bottom but still tough near the tip. Pick tough leaves out of your bowl with your fingers and nibble the soft part from the bottom. Then drag the leaf over your bottom teeth to get the artichoke meat.

Time 2h2m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 whole artichokes
½ cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 cups chicken broth, or more to taste
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 red potatoes, cut into 2-inch cubes
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes

Steps:

  • Cut stem off an artichoke and break off tough outer leaves. Cut about 1 inch from the tip to remove spines. Cut into quarters and remove hairy choke and spiny purple leaves. Cut heart from the choke and separate the leaves. Place leaves and heart in a bowl of water; add lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan. Drain and add artichokes; cook and stir until coated with oil, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer artichokes to a large pot. Add chicken broth and Italian seasoning. Simmer until artichoke leaves are soft, about 1 hour.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the saucepan. Cook and stir onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer onion and garlic to the pot of artichokes; stir in potatoes and canned artichokes. Cook for 15 minutes. Add stewed tomatoes. Continue cooking until potatoes are soft, about 10 minutes more. Divide among serving bowls.
