Poor Man’s Supper: “Pot Pie”















In my family, this is a classic and a favorite! It is so simple, but so special and tasty that we only have it once or twice a year. It is an amazingly flavorful soup/stew that is chunky, hot, and filling. Great for a cold, rainy (or snowy) day. Makes plenty for leftovers... but trust me, they won't last long!

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
2 cans tomato soup
2 cans water
5 potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 cup baby carrots
1 or 2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:
In a crock pot, whisk together soup and water; add in potatoes, carrots, and bay leaf (or leaves). Take ground beef, and form small patties (about 3” in length) until all beef has been used; add patties to crock pot. Cook on high for 4 hours, or until potatoes are fork tender and beef is cooked through. Salt and pepper to taste and serve hot!
