Hamburger Stew




This is one of my favorite meals when the weather starts to get chilly! Pair this with a loaf of French Bread fresh from the oven, and you have the perfect meal!  Freeze the left-overs so that you can enjoy it a second time!! 


 Serves: 16  |  Prep: 20 min  | Cook: 65 min


Ingredients:


  • 2 pounds ground beef

  • 2 medium onions, chopped

  • 4 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) stewed tomatoes, undrained

  • 8 medium carrots, thinly sliced

  • 4 celery ribs, thinly sliced

  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 2 cups beef broth

  • 3 teaspoons salt

  • 1 teaspoon pepper


Directions:


  1. In a Dutch oven or large pot, cook beef and onions over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the tomatoes, carrots, celery, potatoes, broth, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. 

  2. Uncover; simmer 20-30 minutes longer or until thickened to desired consistency.


*Freeze option: Freeze cooled stew in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little water if necessary.
