Stove top Casserole

Perhaps Casserole is not exactly the right word. However, this is a great meal, made in a large fry pan. You can vary this to suit your tastes. It is a great winter comfort food. Serve it just as is or add a side of cornbread or a salad and you are all set. Need: 1 pound ground meat 3 to 4 large pototoes 1 can - cream of celery soup 1 medium onion 2 stalks of celery 1 large carrot or one cup of shredded carrots. Salt Pepper Garlic powder Peal, quarter and boil the potatoes until just tender when pierced with a fork. ( about 15 minutes) In large fry pan, brown and drain ground meat dice onion, celery and carrots. mix with ground meat and cover..cook on medium heat for 10 minutes. drain potatoes and add to meat mixtures. Add soup Using soup can for measuring...add 1/2 can of water and 1/2 can of milk to mixture. Lightly sprinkle surface with salt , pepper and garlic powder.** **I usually don t measure these items..I just do a fast sprinkle over the surface of what I m cooking. Stir all together...cover over medium to low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes. Serve. What you are doing now is letting all the flavors blend together. Let the soup and onion flavor soak into the potatoes. My niece has a friend from Jordan. They make this dish only they use very hot spices. If you love spicy food you can certainly change the spices in this to a hot and spicy dish. Enjoy!
