For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef with a tablespoon of butter or olive oil. Add other vegetables like carrots, celery, or peas to customize your stew. If you prefer a thicker gravy, whisk a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little cold water and stir it into the stew during the last few minutes of cooking. For an even more flavorful stew, consider using beef broth instead of water. Serve with crusty bread or biscuits for soaking up the delicious gravy.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
20 mins
In a large pot, combine the potatoes, onion, and garlic. Add enough water to cover the vegetables. Season generously with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
02
Step
7 mins
While the potatoes are simmering, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
03
Step
15 mins
Add the browned ground beef to the pot with the potato mixture. Stir to combine, and cook the stew over medium heat for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
04
Step
20 mins
In a small bowl, whisk together the 2/3 cup of water and the dry brown gravy mix until smooth. Gradually pour the gravy mixture into the stew, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Let the stew simmer gently until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency, about 20 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
