Hobo Stew

If you've ever been to a family reunion or a party in my family, you've heard of Hobo Stew!  It's a common dish that we have and that everyone enjoys.  Basically, everyone brings an ingredient and tosses it into a big stew pot, you cook it over a fire, and then, after a few hours, you dig in! 

Well, you don't have to wait for a part or reunion to enjoy a great Hobo Stew!  This is simple, flavorful, and it's great when you need a dish that is cheap....because this is as cheap as it gets, lol! 

Ingredients:

- 2 cans corn, undrained
- 2 cans green beans, undrained
- 1 can peas, undrained
- 1 can carrots, undrained
- 1 can mixed veggies, undrained
- 4 to 5 potatoes, cubed
- 2 onions, sliced or chopped
- 2 pkgs polish sausage, cut into coins
- Water if needed
- Season to taste

(*the ingredient list is just what I've used this time....you can add whatever you want!  I love stewed tomatoes in this as well, but didn't have a can on hand when I made it!)

Directions:

1.  Chop up all your potatoes, sausage, and onions and toss it into a large stew pot. 



2.  Open up all your veggies and toss them in, liquid and all!  Stir it all together and add some water if needed.  You need enough liquid to almost submerge the veggies. 


3.  Bring to boil and continue to boil until potatoes are cooked through.  Add pepper (salt if you used low sodium veggies) and whatever seasoning you prefer.

4.  Serve it up!

Here's the final product.....

I serve mine with biscuits or bread and butter and a side salad.  Enjoy!
