Steps:

• Melt shortening in the bottom of a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Pour in tomato soup. Fill the empty can with water twice and pour in. Season with salt and mix until well combined.
• Cover and cook over medium-low heat until beef is tender, about 2 hours. Make sure there is always liquid in the Dutch oven; add more water if needed.
• Stir in potatoes, carrots, and onions once beef is tender. Add enough water to nearly cover the vegetables. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often, until stew thickens and vegetables are very soft, 30 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Brown hamburger meat in skillet, drain.
• Sautee chopped onions in skillet with meat until tender.
• Put the meat and onion mixture in a large pot, add all canned ingredients, and salt & pepper to taste. Stir just until all is incorporated. Serve when hot. Even better the second day!

GRANDMA'S MULLIGAN STEW

Steps:

• In a large heavy pot, brown the ground beef well and drain (I like brown, not gray colored meat. more flavor and eye appealing).
• Hold the corn until the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.
• Add remaining ingredients to the beef.
• Add water to cover about 1/2 inch above ingredients (add more if needed later).
• Cook until all ingredients are tender.
• Add corn, cook another 5-10 minutes, adjust salt if needed.
• Serve with a nice loaf of home made bread for a delightful 1 pot meal.
• If I'm in a big hurry, I sometimes start the cooking of the squash and peppers in the microwave so they will tenderize quicker once the ingredients are combined.
• I sometimes serve some form of potato with this to round out the meal a bit.
• Note: I've tried adding things like onions and mushrooms, but it just isn't true Mulligan Stew and the perfection of the flavor balance is lost so I suggest you stay true to the recipe as given.
