As a single mother, my mom would pinch pennies and "throw something together" for supper. One of our favorites was probably the easiest to make! This recipe is versitile. I make it now and serve over salad with corn chips for a family fave.

How To Make mom's poor man's grub

Step 1

Peel and dice potatoes and fry in shortening. Fry 1-2 pounds of hamburger; depending on how many people you are serving.

Step 2

Drain the hamburger, then add 2-3 cans of light red kidney beans, a pkg of lipton's onion soup mix and 2-3 cups of water. Simmer for 15 min- be careful it doesn't go dry.
Step 3

Serve the beans and hamburger over the potatoes for a quick and filling dinner.
Step 4

If you are on a diet, or just like to eat healthy... prepare the hamburger as above adding only half the onion soup mix and serve over a salad. My family loves it this way.
