Here's an old-time hamburger and mixed vegetable soup, made the way Grandma made it...if Grandma had a slow cooker. If you can't go home and check on it on a week day be sure to added extra broth at the beginning. A large bag of frozen mixed vegetables can be used in place of the canned vegetables.

My mom would always makes something called Campers Stew when we camped. It was much like this but a can of alphabet soup instead of the tomato sauce!! YUM. Making this for my little campers tonight. Read More

I cooked this after work one night and did not use the slow-cooker. I browned 90% lean burger with onion and garlic then drained well. I used frozen vegetables instead of canned - I always use fresh or frozen never canned - and made my own beef broth from a powdered broth base/seasoning instead of already-made. Instead of tomato sauce I used fresh diced tomatoes. This recipe needs a lot of seasoning because it is very bland as written. I was very generous with garlic salt pepper and dried parsley. I also added a tsp of Penzey's Beef Roast seasoning and used 1 tbsp of Melissa's fresh parsley paste. Season your heart out!! Next time I'll be using two cans of diced tomatoes and adding half a bag of pearl onions. Read More

Kind of tasteless and it was too fatty. Might want to brown the ground beef first: it was completely inedible because of all the fat when we tried it fresh had to keep it in the fridge to skim the fat off the next day. Followed this exactly except for the can of green beans (doubt that would have made a difference). Read More

The only thing I did different was that I cooked the hamburger first before putting it in. Other than that, I followed the recipe to a T and it came out great! Thanks so much for the recipe! Read More

Easy and flavorful recipe. And the great thing about Hobo or Camper stew is it's great for substitutions... whatever you have on hand. Did it exactly by the recipe but it'd work with any meat and can change out vegetables and type of onion. Read More
