Green Bean Hamburger Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Brown hamburger in a large pot until no longer pink; towards the end of browning, add diced onion and cook with hamburger until onion is soft; stirring frequently. Drain off grease.
• Add green beans ( I don't drain mine.) Add potatoes and enough water to cover the potatoes.
• Bring to a boil, and cook until potatoes are soft enough to break with spoon. Stir often. After potatoes soften, reduce heat and cover, and simmer for a while, to allow flavors to blend; about an hour or so. Keep a close eye on it. *This is the one-pot method; but you can cook the potatoes in a separate pot until soft, and meanwhile cook the hamburger/onion mixture in a skillet. Once the potatoes are done, drain off some of the water, and add meat/onion mixture, along with the green beans, if desired. Keep in mind you will still need to cook it all together for a while, to allow the meat and onions to flavor the broth. This could also be cooked in a crock pot. We like to eat this with a glass of milk, and bread and butter.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook meat in 1 tablespoon butter until browned; drain and set meat aside. In same saucepan, saute the celery, onion and garlic with remaining butter until tender. Stir in the tomatoes, 3/4 cup water, salt, oregano, pepper and reserved meat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour., Stir in beans and parsley. Return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for about 30 minutes longer or until meat and beans are tender. Combine cornstarch and remaining water until smooth. Gradually stir into stew. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.

Steps:

• Spray a large saucepan with cooking spray.
• Brown beef and chopped onions over medium heat until cooked though; drain any fat.
• To the browned meat and onions, add the cream of tomato soup, tomato sauce, and water.
• Bring to a boil.
• Add uncooked instant rice, green beans, parsley, and black pepper; stir well.
• Cover and reduce heat to low.
• Simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is tender, stirring once or twice.
