This week I wanted to share one of the recipes that reminds me most of my Grandma Opal. Hamburger Stew is a lot like a traditional beef stew only less expensive. Growing up, Grandma would throw everything but the kitchen sink into her stew pot, simmer it for hours and then we ate on for days! Watch the video about it below or scroll down for the step by step recipe. I hope you love this Hamburger Stew as much as I do. ~Rachel
Start by browning your hamburger meat in the bottom of a large pot over medium heat. Add in onion and garlic and cook until warmed through.
Add in all the other vegetables (except potatoes) and mix into cook with the meat. Add in salt, pepper and spices. Cook meat and veggie mixture over medium heat for 5 minutes. Remember, you just want them cooked through, not mushy.
Now add in broth, potatoes, tomatoes and tomato paste and simmer over medium heat until potatoes are cooked through (30 -45 minutes). We always had ours with crackers on top but you can garnish however you’d like.
