Bachelor Stew (Edited) (Edited Again)

Edit: Froggy suggested garlic & parsely. Considering that I use those in nearly everything I cook, I guess I forgot to add them in here!
2nd Edit: We tried something new, I put a little soy sauce on the stew after it was cooked. It was pretty good.
Bill invented this recipe. It's called Bachelor Stew because when he was a bachelor, he had to learn to cook to keep himself alive. This one is actually pretty good. It's a really good recipe for cold weather. I usually use more onion and bell pepper. Also, you can use two regular cans of mixed vegetables or one large can (drain if you use canned vegetables) in place of the frozen veggies. Also, the water can be increased if you'd prefer more soupy stew. It's great served over cooked rice. It freezes wonderfully, on the rare occasions when there is any left that is! And the simmer time can be adjusted up or down, I don't usually let it simmer that long.

Bachelor Stew

1 pound ground beef or turkey
1 pound bag frozen mixed vegetables
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 soup can of water
1/4 small onion, chopped
1/4 small bell pepper, chopped

Brown beef with onion and bell pepper. Drain. Add rest of the ingredients, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

  1. I would add xome garlic or garlic powder and parsley. It seems like I add garlic to almost everything. The side effect of eating garlic is the mosquitos don't bite me. Froggy
