Poor Man's Stew Cooks up quicker than a normal stew and is one that is often incredibly kid friendly... all you have to say is "hamburger stew"! Low cost, easy to prepare and quick to finish? What's not to love?

Budget friendly but not short on flavor, this Poor Man’s Stew is reminiscent of those simple but tasty meals that our parents used to make. Kid friendly and a campfire favorite for its easy preparation.
