{Allergy Free} Hamburger Stew

The weather turned cold again and we needed some stew to warm back up. Never mind that it's only in the 50's, we pretend that it's a deep freeze and we hibernate with hot stew and warm cookies. My kids even helped me make this dish, and it was delicious and filling - and very easy!

Hamburger Stew

2 pounds ground beef or bison

2 medium onions, diced

2 cans stewed tomatoes, blended

6 large carrots, sliced

4 celery stalks, sliced

4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes

1/2 cup wild rice (or any long grain rice)

3 cups beef broth

1 1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

Brown the beef with the onion in a giant pot.
Drain.
Add the remaining ingredients into the pot and simmer for 30 min to an hour.
You may need to add more liquid as it cooks down, just add some water until the stew is the desired consistency.
