Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef, browned and drained
  • 1.5 lbs potatoes, diced large

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced (I had this on hand already)

  • ¼ tsp. pepper
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano

How To Make Poor Man’s Stew

Add the cooked ground beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, and garlic to a 5-quart or larger slow cooker.
In a small bowl whisk together the tomato paste, water, salt, pepper, onion powder and oregano. Pour this mixture over everything in the slow cooker. Stir.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours, without opening the lid during the cooking time.
Serve with buttered sandwich bread.
