1 ts honey
1 ts lemon juice

Add the above ingredients first as listed and let cook until green pepper and celery are tender then add the rest of the ingredients below and cook until done. If using medium carrots instead of canned carrots then add them now also.

1 can sliced carrots liquid drained out OR 3 medium sized carrots sliced
4 or 5 cans whole potatoes liquid drained out OR 4 to 5 lbs potatoes peeled
Add more water until all ingredients are covered.

Once done serve up with biscuits or some fresh homemade bread. Great during the cold months.

**My aunt use to make this stew and this is her basic recipe:
ground beef browned with grease drained off
water
potatoes
onion
ketchup
salt and pepper to taste

**There are other ways I make hamburger stew also. I prefer to cook it in the oven these days.
