It’s called poor man’s stew, but I feel so rich eating it! (Page 2 ) | March 14, 2025

1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.

In the slow cooker, combine the beef, potatoes, carrots, onion and garlic.

Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes, then add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and thyme. Mix.

Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or until vegetables are tender.

Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.

Variations and tips

For a change, you can substitute ground turkey for the ground beef or use beef stew for a chunkier texture. If you like a little heat, try adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. To make the dish heartier, consider adding a can of drained kidney beans or peas toward the end of cooking. And for extra veggies, add frozen green beans or corn in the last hour of cooking.
