Simple Poor Man’s Supper
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (hamburger)
- Desired amount of potatoes, peeled and sliced into cubes
- 1 can (15.25 oz) sweet corn, drained
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: additional seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, etc.
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Heat some cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring they’re not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
- Fry the potatoes until they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Once done, transfer the fried potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and any other desired seasonings.
- Cook the Ground Beef:
- In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and add the ground beef.
- Break up the meat with a spatula and cook it over medium-high heat until it’s browned and cooked through, usually about 8-10 minutes.
- Season the ground beef with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you prefer, such as garlic powder or onion powder.
- Combine:
- Once the ground beef is cooked, add the fried potatoes back into the skillet with the beef.
- Pour in the drained sweet corn and gently mix everything together until evenly combined.
- Allow the mixture to cook together for another 2-3 minutes, just to heat through and let the flavors meld.
- Serve:
- Once everything is heated through and well combined, transfer the Poor Man’s Supper to a serving dish.
- Serve hot, either as is or with your choice of condiments or sides.
- Enjoy!
- Enjoy this simple, hearty meal with your family. It’s comforting, flavorful, and budget-friendly!
Note: Feel free to customize this recipe based on your family’s preferences. You can add in other vegetables like onions or bell peppers, or even top it with cheese for extra indulgence
