Fill in the ____

Overheard the other day while I was buying wine glasses at Steinmart: Two well-dressed middle-aged women were talking about cooking for their husbands. One was lamenting that she and her husband didn't cook anymore since they ended up eating it all and gaining weight. Next thing I heard was: "First you take two cans of Dinty Moore beef stew..." -- I missed some in the middle and she finished -- "...and ketchup on top. It's really good!"

I'm not sure I really want to know what goes in the middle of that recipe.
