Gramma'S Hamburger Hotdish - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb ground chuck
5 medium potatoes, peeled
1 large yellow onion
2 large carrots
2 stalks celery
2 tablespoons uncooked rice
1/8 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce (or 1 8oz can with one can of water)
salt and pepper

Preparation

Brown ground chuck, drain grease and set aside.
Cut up vegetables - thinly slice the potatoes (make sure they are evenly sliced so that they cook evenly) dice the onion, and cut up carrot and celery.
In a large bowl mix together the beef, vegetables and tomato sauce, rice and sugar.
Pour all the ingredients into a 9 x 13 inch glass casserole. Cover with tin foil and bake for about an hour in a 350 degree oven - or until the vegetables are done.
