Stovetop Hamburger Potato Carrot Casserole

Hamburger Potato Carrot Casserole is super easy to make for a weeknight meal.  This was a mainstay meal when my children were growing up.

STOVETOP HAMBURGER STEW

There is nothing more filling than a hearty bowl of stovetop hamburger stew with potatoes and carrots, and this one is ready in 30 minutes.

When I tell people we are having Hamburger Potato Carrot casserole for dinner, they say, "That sounds good, what's in it?"  I answer them with hamburger potatoes and carrots, which are simple ingredients.

Mother made this all the time when I was growing up, and I don't think she really had a name for it.  So, when I started making it for my family, I started calling it Hamburger Potato Carrot Casserole.

This is one of those one-pot meals that the whole family loves.  Who can turn down meat and potatoes?  It is also a great way to get your children to eat carrots, which I have never had any trouble with.

I usually make a salad and serve some sort of bread to go with it.  I served a delicious Jalapeno Cornbread Loaf this time, which we later made into some tasty sandwiches.

Going back to the name, I don't know how the "casserole" became part of it.  It really is not like your usual casserole.  It is more like a stew than anything.

It has the most delicious juices off the meat, potatoes, and carrots cooked with onions and celery.

Later, and with a nudge from my Daught in Love, I took it to a new level by adding Montreal Steak Seasonings.

Now, do you see what I am talking about?  It is more like a stew than a casserole!
