On the cold winter days in the Midwest, nothing beats the comf
ort of a hearty stew. This poor stew is a favorite in our house, not only for its simplicity, but also for its comforting flavors. The dish owes its name to the fact that it uses affordable ingredients that many of us already have in the pantry. It's perfect for parties where you're in awe-hour but you're looking for a delicious home-cooked meal. With a slow cooker doing most of the work, this recipe is a lifeline for busy professionals like me who want to go home with a ready-to-eat feast.
This stew blends perfectly with a hot slice of crisp bread or a simple accompanying salad, making it a full meal. You can also try to serve it on a bed of rice or noodles to absorb the tasty broth. A spoonful of sour cream or a pinch of grated cheese can add extra richness to each bowl.
