I'd say either low-cost or home grown ingredients for the most part. Tough cuts of meat, flour, eggs, vegetanles, etc.
Things like beef/lamb shanks, many different cabbage dishes, things that in many cases were made by field workers or brought to US cities by field workers from other countries.

Sounds good That's the type of home grown thing I have in mind, like Polish Cabbage Soup or Eastern European Borscht. Or something like gnocchi or pirogis, flour, potatoes, eggs, maybe onions, simple but tasty and satisfying.

I like all that stuff... maybe I am a peasant.
I like a vegetable beef soup that has all kinds of vegetables in it, to include cabbage, and chuck.
Basically to add whatever you have available, and it is sounding good right about now.
My mother used to make potatoes and cabbage all the time, with onions.

.
Or stuffed cabbage?
When I refer to things as 'peasant food' I mean it in the best possible way. In my eyes it came from people replacing wealth of materials wirh ingenuity and creativity, many of the results are yummy.
does Mexican food classify as peasant food, that is what I grew up, refried beans and spanish rice and tortillas, fried potatoes and eggs and squash, peppers garlic and onions
