On cold winter days in the Midwest, there’s nothing quite like the comfort of a hearty stew. This Slow Cooker Poor Man’s Stew is a favorite in our home, not just for its simplicity, but also for its heartwarming flavors. The dish gets its name because it uses affordable ingredients that many of us already have in the pantry. It’s perfect for those evenings when you’re pressed for time yet looking for a delicious home-cooked meal. With a slow cooker doing most of the work, this recipe is a lifesaver for busy professionals like myself who want to come home to a ready-to-eat feast.
This stew pairs wonderfully with a slice of warm, crusty bread or a simple side salad, making it a complete meal. You might also try serving it over a bed of rice or noodles to soak up the savory broth. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of shredded cheese can add extra richness to each bowl.
