Mulligan Stew
I think this came from some Boy Scout recipe. It's been adapted over the years; originally, I believe there were mashed potatoes involved somehow, but man, that's a load of starch. I raised two kids on this stuff, and it certainly fills the gaps come dinner time.
1 lb ground beef, ground turkey or loose pork sausage
2-3 tbsp dried minced onion
2 tsp garlic powder or equivalent in minced garlic
A little chopped green pepper if you've got it
1 can corn (can use Mexi-corn that has green and red pepper in it already), drained
2-3 soup-can sized cans pork and beans
Dash Worcestershire sauce
Salt, pepper and Louisiana hot sauce to taste
Brown ground beef and drain. Add minced onion and garlic, stir to get the onion mixed well with the remaining beef juices. Add green pepper if you're using it, corn, and pork and beans. Use 2 cans beans for meatier stew, 3 cans for more stew for a bigger group. Season with Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and hot sauce. Simmer a little while to let the subtle flavors of canned beans permeate the meaty hamburger goodness. Dish into a bowl and pass the bread basket. Serves at least four, probably more.
