Hamburger Stew - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. hamburger
6 potatoes, diced
6 carrots, sliced
6 stalks celery, sliced
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 to 1 c. any vegetables

Preparation

You may use any vegetables you have on hand or fresh, frozen, canned or my favorite, leftovers (peas, green beans, corn, lima beans, okra, squash, mangoes, etc.).
Brown the hamburger in a large kettle.
Add potatoes, carrots, celery, onions and all fresh vegetables that must be cooked, except tomatoes.
Cook over medium heat about 1 hour.
When vegetables are almost tender, add all other ingredients (including tomatoes) and cook until done, usually about 20 minutes more.
