Looking for a budget meal this week? This Instant Pot ground beef stew with potatoes (also known as Poor Man's Stew) is hearty and delicious using inexpensive ingredients that will feed the whole family. This one-pot dish is super easy and quick to make, so it's great for those busy weekdays.

With only a handful of fresh ingredients such as budget-friendly ground beef, potatoes, onions, carrots and celery, plus a few pantry items you most likely already have, this ground beef stew is very affordable and can stretch across multiple meals if you make an extra-large batch. It freezes well too, so it's great to batch-cook ahead of time.

The stew is made as a one-pot dish, which means that it can be served on its own. It's kind of like a very thick soup with meat and veggies in one pot, so the only thing you might want to add is a side of bread or dinner rolls. A dollop of sour cream or some grated cheese also works really well with this ground beef stew.
