Hamburger Stew

1-2 lb. hamburger
6-8 lg. potatoes, diced**
1 lg. onion, diced
salt*
pepper
1/2c. flour (optional***)

In large saucepan, brown hamburger and drain fat.  Then add diced potatoes, onion, salt, pepper, and enough water to cook vegetables in.  Bring to a boil and boil until vegetables are tender.  Use a small amount of liquid and add to the flour (in a separate bowl) and stir until thick and all lumps are out.  Put flour mixture into stew and cook until thick.

*may omit salt and use other herbs and seasonings.  See link below for herbs and seasonings you can use and their health benefits.

**may add other vegetables to stew such as carrots, celery, and/or tomatoes.

***Flour is optional in this recipe.  It's used to make the stew thick (like gravy).  If you don't want thick stew, you may leave this out.
