ITALIAN HUNTERS STEW



Italian Hunters Stew image

Meet the Cook: This is an all-time favorite because it combines the satisfying ingredients of meat and vegetables with the flavor and textures of pasta dishes. My husband is a hunter besides, so on occasion I'll use elk or venison in place of the beef. We have three daughters and three grandchildren. Plus, my husband's the oldest of 14 children. Having 30 or 40 for holiday dinners isn't uncommon! -Ann Shorey, Sutherlin, Oregon

HEARTY HAMBURGER STEW

This originally came from the OMAC cookbook. I think I might have revised it a little based on our family as I'm posting this from memory. You'd think we liked it!! :=)

Provided by FluteDiva64

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 pot, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 lb ground meat (I know, the title says hamburger, but I actually use Turkey)
1 onion, chopped
4 celery ribs, sliced
1 cup carrot, sliced
2 cups frozen corn
2 cups frozen green beans
1 (46 ounce) can V8 vegetable juice
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
3 garlic cloves, minced
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Add oil to large Dutch Oven type dish.
  • Brown the ground meat until cooked through.
  • Add onions, celery, and carrots. You can add other vegetables to this dish, but these are the main ones that I remember from the original recipe.
  • Cook until the vegetables get nicely carmelized. Add remaining ingredients.
  • Simmer for about an hour. We've rushed this and it's still good, but the longer it simmers the richer the flavor.
  • This tastes good with nice, fresh cornbread. I've even made Cheddar-Dill Bisquick Drop muffins as well. Crusty bread would work great too!
