You will need these ingredients:

lb. ground beef browned and drained

lbs potatoes, diced large

carrots, sliced

onion, diced

garlic clove minced (I had this on hand already)

oz. can tomato paste

cups water

tsp. salt

¼ tsp. pepper

tsp. onion powder

tsp. dried oregano

Directions:

Brown the beef in a skillet on the stove-top, drain fat.

Add the beef to the slow cooker along with the potatoes, onions, carrots, and garlic.

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.

How long do I cook poor man’s stew?

Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until the potatoes are tender.

Serve in bowls and enjoy!
