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 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 Potato and Carrots--- 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 just loves.  Who can turn down meat and potatoes?  And it is a great way to get your children to eat carrots, which I never had any trouble with.


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

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 that are cooked with onions and celery.

Later, and with a nudge from my DIL, I took it to a new level by adding Montreal Steak Seasoning. 

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