Meat, bean, potato and vegetable stew combines pieces of meat with beans, potatoes and vegetables, commonly onion, tomato, carrot or peppers. Recipes vary by household, and the beans may be fresh or dried, so the cooking steps change slightly depending on which kind you use.
Brown the meat and onion, then add the beans, seasonings and enough liquid to cook them until nearly tender. Add potatoes and quicker-cooking vegetables later so they keep their shape. If using dried beans, soak and cook them beforehand or allow for their longer cooking time.
Beef or lamb both work well in meat, bean, potato and vegetable stew. Choose a stewing cut that becomes tender with slow cooking, and cut it into small, even pieces so it cooks through alongside the beans and vegetables.
Yes, canned beans are convenient in meat, bean, potato and vegetable stew. Drain and rinse them, then stir them in near the end because they are already cooked; adding them too early can make them break apart while the meat and potatoes finish cooking.
Beans can stay hard in meat, bean, potato and vegetable stew if dried beans were not soaked or fully cooked first. Older beans may take longer, and acidic ingredients such as tomatoes can slow softening, so add them after the beans have begun to cook tender.
Serve meat, bean, potato and vegetable stew with crusty bread, rice or another simple grain to soak up the broth. A crisp salad or plain yogurt also pairs well and adds a fresh contrast to the rich, filling stew.
Meat, bean, potato and vegetable stew keeps for a few days when promptly refrigerated in a covered container. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, and make sure it is hot throughout before serving.
Yes, meat, bean, potato and vegetable stew freezes well in airtight, freezer-safe portions. The potatoes may become softer after thawing, so stir the stew gently as it reheats; adding a little water or broth can loosen a thickened sauce.
Yes, meat, bean, potato and vegetable stew can make a nourishing main meal, with protein from the meat and fiber from beans and vegetables. For a lighter pot, use less added oil and salt and include plenty of vegetables.
Yes, meat, bean, potato and vegetable stew can be made in a slow cooker. Brown the meat first for deeper flavor, and add potatoes later if you want them to hold their shape; dried beans should be properly soaked and cooked rather than relying on a slow cooker alone.

Meat, bean, potato and vegetable stew is a home-style Turkish pot dish, made by simmering meat with beans, potatoes and assorted vegetables until everything is tender. The choice of meat and vegetables often varies with the season and the cook; the result is usually a gently thick, savoury stew rather than a sharply spiced one.
It is commonly served as a filling main course, with rice or bulgur and sometimes bread for the broth; yoghurt or pickles make a refreshing accompaniment. The combination provides protein and fibre, as well as the satisfying heft of potatoes and meat. For a lighter pot, use a modest amount of oil and leaner meat, or add more vegetables without losing the stew’s hearty character.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
