5-Ingredient Recipe (5 Can Stew)

OK, you have to have canned goods on hand. The only stickler in my family is the minestrone soup.

1-can of Minestrone Soup
1-can of corn
1-can of tomato (diced, stewed, etc)
1-can of black beans, rinsed (unless you want the black bean look)
1-can of mixed veggies

I do this in a crock pot and about 1 hr - 30 minutes before we intend to eat, I might add corn bread of bisquit batter to the top, re-cover and cook until it is done.

(you could probably add a lot of pureed veggies here....or greens. Spinach would be good) I'm thinking you could get most of the cans at Dollar Tree for 50 cents.

Here's another, which only counts if you commonly have roast around, which we do. You could make your own sloppy jo sauce recipe, too. But I'm always missing something like yellow mustard or that's the day I don't have catsup or brown sugar...(taken from some recipes I recently gave to a friend on livejournal....)

I take a roast or two and pour a can or two of sloppy joe sauce over it, cook the sh*t out of it, and then shred it and use for sandwich fillings. You can also use it later in tortillas or as potato topping. And then if you drain the final left overs well, you can use that meat as the meat in beef stew/soup/veggie and beef soup.
