Think slumgullion. It's got all that stuff, although slumgullion doesn't
sound as elegant as Mulligan or hobo. Yeah, I've eaten it. Yeah, I pass
it off to my wife calling it beef stew or beef soup, depending on how
soupy it is and whether I added flour slurry. Yeah, it tastes great if
the beef has enriched the broth enough. I use "Herb ox" and "Better than
Bouillon" to kick up the beef flavor most of the time.
Rice, beans, potatoes or pasta with a rich beef broth and whatever else
you have in vegetables is pretty tasty. Seasonings are copious salt and
some pepper to taste. Slumgullion.
