Quick Hamburger Stew  
From: Chris Williamson  
I love the taste of a rich, cooked-slowly-all-day stew any time of the year. I usually feel  
the cravings for it most often about a half an hour before supper time, much too late to  
indulge in its savory warmth that day. I developed this recipe to fill that need, and it  
quickly became a family favorite. This rich and filling stew for two can be ready to warm  
you up in under 30 minutes.

1
/2 lb. extra lean ground beef  
medium potato, washed and cut into 1/2 in. cubes  
can condensed tomato soup  
tablespoon Worcestershire sauce  
tsp. seasoned salt  
1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables  
For people sensitive to spices, optional recipe below:  
Use 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup in place of condensed tomato  
soup.  
Reduce seasoned salt to only 1 tsp.  
Reduce Worcestershire sauce to only 1 tsp.  
Don't add any additional salt or pepper.  
Otherwise, follow recipe exactly.  
Boil potato in (salted) water in a 2 quart saucepan for 15 minutes.  
Brown ground beef in 10-inch frying pan. Drain fat.  
Add soup, vegetables, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoned salt. Mix well.  
Add parboiled potatoes and 1/2 cup of potato cooking liquid. Bring to a boil. Simmer  
potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes, stirring  
often.  
Enjoy! Serves 2-3.
