Hobo Stew - my style

I make hobo stew pretty much the way I make many things.

Have a good idea of what you want, and toss together what you think will get you to that end.

I like making hobo stew in a fire, but we were in a restricted fire ban time at the campground so having a good fire was a no go.   We used the next best thing...our dutch oven and some coals.

I had some ground beef (about 1.5 lbs)
Some potatoes, carrots and canned corn.
We had a touch of onion left from hubby's hamburgers.

I cubed the potatoes and sliced up the carrots.   Tried to make the pieces about equal.    Didn't totally succeed.

Browned the beef, added the onion and some seasonings.   Added some water.
Let that cook a bit.
Then added the potatoes.  About six cut up
Let that cook a bit.
Then added the carrots and the corn.  About four big carrots and one can of corn.
Let that cook a bit.
Added some more seasoning.   For seasoning with used garlic salt and a mixed seasoning mix.

All told it cooked about 2 hours, and when we had it most of the potatoes were soft though not all, we saved those for the second serving.

It tasted great.  :)
