Hobo Stew
Love Hobo Stew because you can put anything in it and it still tastes great. The more different things you put in it the better it taste. Right now, I have a Tupperware container of Hobo Stew starter in the fridge. I also have the slow cooker heat a batch of it up at this moment.

I don’t always use a starter for Hobo Stew, but I fixed a kittle of beans last week. In the beans, I put an onion, a can of corn and a can of peas. We didn’t eat it all so I put it in the fridge and then added some oatmeal Saturday.

The Hobo Stew in the slow cooker has franks, chicken noodle soup, chilly and some of the beans from the Tupperware container. We will eat what’s in the slow cooker today. Then tomorrow I’ll fix some potatoes and add the stuff in the Tupperware container. I have plenty of ingredients for Hobo Stew so that is what we’re eating the rest of the month; unless I get to take Mom out on her birthday.

The reason I like Hobo Stew is you can fix it with so many different ingredients. I can use the beans in the fridge and add noodles or rice to it for a completely different dish. To make good Hobo Stew takes creativity and a willingness to eat my own cooking. If I make a batch that I don’t like I remember what ingredient didn’t work that time and don’t use it again.

The interesting thing is, I have never found any ingredient that doesn’t work in Hobo Stew. Almost anything, I put in my Hobo Stew works. It is wonder to have a dish that I can make anytime without worrying about not using the leftovers I have in the fridge. I can make Hobo Stew with just leftovers or I can make it from scratch with whatever I have in the cupboard or the fridge and it always taste great.

My mother keeps telling me I should write down my recipe for Hobo Stew. The problem is that I don’t have a recipe for it, because I make it with the ingredients available I always make it differently each time.
