How Do You Make Poor Mans Irish Stew?
My husband grew up in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He learned how to make a great Irish Stew on a budget. Put the ground beef in a large pot and fill with water. Have the water line just covering the ground beef. Set the heat on high, ready to boil. Add the carrots. Slice up an onion. I like mine in big, thick slices. Add it to the pot and DO NOT STIR! All the flavors are starting to blend as the water becomes hotter and hotter. Almost near boiling. Peel the potatoes. My Irish love likes to peel while watching football! He has a garbage can ready to catch the unwanted peels and a clean pot to drop the peeled ones in. After the pot is filled he will take it to the sink and wash/rinse the freshly peeled potatoes. Cut the cleaned potatoes into quarters. Add it to the pot and bring to a boil. Add more water IF needed. Again ONLY to cover the top just a dab over all the ingredients. Add the Bisto and the OXO. OXO is like Bullion Cubes. If you can’t get OXO then use beef bullion cubes. Bisto i
