HAMBURGER STEW WITH GRAVY

Hamburger Stew with Gravy image

I prepare this hamburger stew with gravy the night before and store in the refrigerator in a covered bowl. Then I dump everything in a slow cooker before heading to work. Walk in the door to a wonderful savory stew that goes great with a fresh loaf of French bread to sop up every drop.
