Stovetop Hamburger Potato Carrot Casserole {Granny's Recipe}

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

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.

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 the name, 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 down the road and 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!
