Steps:
- Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Crumble the ground chuck (2 pounds) into large chunks in the hot pan, and cook until evenly browned. Transfer cooked beef to a paper towel-lined plate. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of drippings from the pot. If you do not have that amount remaining, add vegetable oil to make up the difference.
- Add the onion (1), garlic (3 cloves), and carrots (4) and saute, over medium heat, until soft, about 5-6 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour (3 tablespoons) over vegetables, stirring constantly, until the flour coats the vegetables. Cook for 2-3 minutes to toast the flour. Remove skillet from heat.
- Add beef stock (3 cups), stewed tomatoes with their juices (2 (14.5-ounces) cans), tomato soup (1 (10.75 -ounce) can), Better Than Bouillon (1 heaping tablespoon), Worcestershire sauce (2 tablespoons), potatoes (3), Italian seasoning (1 teaspoon), thyme (1/4 teaspoon), bay leaf (1), salt (2 1/4 teaspoons), pepper (1 teaspoon), green beans (1 1/2 cups), pearl onions (1 cup), and browned beef; stir to blend then simmer over low heat for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Adjust seasoning. Ladle into individual bowls and serve.

OLD FASHIONED BEEF STEW
My family loves to enjoy this thick and hearty bowl of tummy warmin' love. The original recipe comes from the 1970 "Hard Times Cook Book" beef and vegetable soup but has been officially "Mama'fyed" so much that it has become an entirely different dish. I hope your family enjoys this as much as mine does. It is wonderful served with some warm and crusty bread or biscuits or even a pan of warm cornbread. See the options at the bottom of the recipe too for MORE VEGGIES that are great additions. As always, feel free to make this recipe fit your family and their likes and dislikes. It always makes my day when someone tells me that their family/kids will now eat a new food that they would previously not touch after trying one of my recipes. If I can help your family eat healthier I am a happy Mama!

Steps:
- Brown meat in a large preheated and lightly oiled stock pot or dutch oven over med high heat until meat has browned on all sides.
- Add onion and celery and continue to brown for a few minutes, stirring often.
- Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute stirring constantly.
- Add parsley, bay leaves, undrained tomatoes and stock to pan and carefully scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Bring all to a boil then reduce to simmer and cook for 2 hours or until meat just begins to get tender.
- Add potatoes and carrots and cook about 30 more minutes or until vegetables and meat are all tender.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. A pinch of sugar will be a surprising touch that will mellow any acidity from the tomatoes and really bring out all the flavors well. JUST a pinch--any more will make it sweet and strange. For the first time try adding just a few granules in in a bowl of the stew and see if you like it.
- THICKER STEW: Add a slurry of cornstarch and cold water to hot stew and cook to desired consistency.
- MORE VEGGIES: Try adding some fresh or frozen corn kernels, diced zucchini, shredded cabbage, fresh or frozen peas or any other veggies you like when you add the carrots and potatoes.
- NOTE: Do not let anyone eat the bay leaves! They can be removed before serving!

Steps:
- On a piece of wax paper, mix together flour, salt, and pepper. Roll beef cubes in the mixture to coat. Shake off excess. In a medium Dutch oven, melt shortening over high heat. When very hot, working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, add beef and cook until brown. As each batch is finished set aside.
- Return beef to the Dutch oven, and add 4 cups boiling water. Stand back, as it will splatter. Stir, and add lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, onion, bay leaves, and allspice. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until meat is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add carrots, onions, and potatoes, and cook until vegetables are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 45 minutes more.

OLD FASHIONED BEEF STEW
This is how my Grandmother taught me to make Beef Stew.I'm always asked to share the recipe, even my childrens friends would ask me to send a copy to their Mother. Although there is a bit of prep time involved you will find this beef stew the perfect winter meal for the meat lovers in your family. I serve this with either a salad or cole slaw and alternate using a crusty bread one time and cornbread another. The potatoes are boiled seperately as Granny said they get too done when cooked with the stew and fall apart. She sometimes halved the potatoes and served them on the side with the stew. Peach Cobbler makes the perfect dessert to follow this hearty meal. Recipe #31901 by Suellen Anderson is almost an exact duplicate of my Grandmothers so try it.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef: 80% lean ground beef is a good option for this stew, as it will provide enough fat to flavor the stew without making it greasy.
- Brown the ground beef well: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the beef from becoming dry and crumbly.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to the stew. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
- Use a flavorful broth: Beef broth or chicken broth are both good options. You can also use water, but the stew will not be as flavorful.
- Season the stew well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or oregano, to taste.
- Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to become tender.
- Serve the stew hot: Hamburger stew is best served hot, with a side of bread or rice.
Conclusion:
Hamburger stew is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and delicious to eat. It is a great way to use up leftover ground beef, and it is also a good way to get your daily dose of vegetables. This stew is also a great option for a budget-friendly meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a hearty and flavorful stew that the whole family will enjoy.
