FAVORITE HAMBURGER STEW

Favorite Hamburger Stew image

I got this hamburger stew recipe from a woman at our church, Lois Henry, when I needed a way to use up our bounty of home-canned tomatoes. My husband loves it, and I like that it's easy to warm up for a carefree dinner in the winter months. -Marcia Clay, Truman, Minnesota
