Stew Hot Dish

Stew Hot Dish is a simple one dish meal that includes meat and an array of different vegetables.  You can add or remove the vegetables to suit your taste. Sometimes I add a beef bouillon cube for more flavor.  Serve with homemade bread or biscuits

Ingredients

1 lb. hamburger
1 onion, chopped
3 to 4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 c. diced potatoes
1 pkg. frozen mixed vegetables
1 c. sliced carrots
1 c. water
1 can tomato soup
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
2 bay leaves

Directions

In a Dutch oven, we have a heavy cast iron one with a lid, brown the hamburger, onion and garlic until the hamburger is no longer pink and the onion is tender.  Drain off excess grease.

Add the potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, sliced carrots, water, tomato soup, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Mix well.  Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to low.  Simmer for 45 to 60 minutes or until vegetables are tender.  Stir occasionally and add more water as needed.
