Made this last night becase I had some ground beef and potatoes that needed to be used up. Not a bad, quick, filling meal. I cooked it as it and added some worcestershire, garlic powder, salt and pepper and only used on boullion cube. Served with a side of sauted zucchini.

Just what I was looking for. I did an ingredients search for potatoes and ground beef and found this simple recipe. I used beef broth instead of bouillon. After the potatoes were soft, I stirred about 2 T. flour into 1/4 c. milk and then stirred it into the broth to make a thicker gravy. Like another reviewer said, it's nothing fancy but it was simple, fast, and called for only a few ingredients which I already had on hand.

As everyone else said, this is a good starter. I added: garlic (fresh), worcestershire sauce, 1 Tb or so of a vegie spice blend, 1-2 tsp of cumin or so and only added water little by little as it evaporated, thus avoiding the "soup" that so many complained about! As a last minute, "I have nothing in my kitchen" reciped I would repeat it. Thanks.

This was a great and quick meal! It wasn't over the top in taste for me, but I liked it. My pickiest of eater, my 2yr old cleaned his bowl! I added the Worcestershire sauce, fresh minced garlic and cheese as recommended. On top of that I chopped up some carrots and celery I had in the fridge and tossed that in for color and flavor. My heart was warmed by watching my whole family enjoy the meal! I made a big pot of the hash and when I returned home from work the next morning, there was only an 8oz bowl of it left in the fridge!

this recipe was yery yummy but i had to doctor it up a bit. first i didnt have any beef bouillon so i substituted it with beef broth and about 2 cups of water. i also added garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, and salt and pepper. i waited and waited for almost an hour for the juices to go down but it didnt happen so i just served this meal as a soup with garlic bread it was a hit at my table.

Leave out the boullion and make it the way my dad did. After adding spices, potatoes, and onions to the ground beef, over cook it until the potatoes will mash easily. Mash the mix so that some of the potatoes become part of the water mix. When it's totally boiled down to where you like it, then add an entire stick of butter. Stir carefully and serve. This is my favorite. ughh, no worsty sauce either.

this was a huge hit with my kids. I used garlic too and used a can beef broth instead. I also added shredded cheese which the kids loved. Also used some parsley and veg spice. My son told me it's a keeper :)

Like everyone else said- a great starter. Add some minced garlic, worshtershire sauce, pepper, salt, cumin, seasonall, and it's a great main course. I omited the bullion b/c I like to experiment with spices. I only added enough water to soften the potatoes, and some flour to keep it from being runny.

My family really enjoyed this. I also added carrots, a little minced garlic, some parsley for color and thickened with corn starch. Reminded me of an inexpensive quick version of beef stew. Will be adding this into the meal "routine".

this is pretty close to a recipe that I have been making since my kids were small. I always add garlic and a little chopped green bell pepper if I have it. Just basic dinner but good...my kids always topped with ketchup. I never put water in it though, just browned the ground beef, added onions,potatoes seasoning and pepper, then cooked till potatoes were done.

This works when you're down to the basics - but you absolutely have to doctor it up, or you'll have flavorless stuff in front of you. I added an extra bouillon cube, carrots, celery, Penzey's dehyd green & red bell peppers, more onion, garlic, parsley, Worcestershire, basil, Cayenne, TONS of Salt and Pepper, and two cans of Cream Of Mushroom. I served it in soup bowls with those new Cole's Cheese Filled Breadstix on the side.

I added one tablespoon of worchestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of salt and a dash of pepper. Also, when I slightly browned the potatoes and onions, I added a teaspoon of minced garlic. I cooked it over medium heat for 30 minutes, and my super picky husband loved it! I will definently make this recipe again.

I cooked this during Ice Storm '09. I live in Kentucky and was among the 600,000+ without power. I used a propane campstove so I had to add more time but it worked great. I used beef broth instead of boulion and also added some seasoning salt and a can of whole kernel corn. It turned out great and warmed us up real good- which we needed since heat was scarce right then. LOL. Now that we have power again I am cooking it for dinner tonight, with a real stove.

This was pretty good. I think on its own it would be a little bland, but with a few spice additions (garlic, cajun seasoning, a little parsley, carmalized onions, and carrots) it was good. A welcome addition to the rotation. Thanks for posting!!

My most favorite way of eating this is with potatoes, celery and carrots added. I call it my comfort food. I could eat it all day! After browning the meat I don't drain it at all, I just add in the veggies, season with a little (not too much because it'll all condense down in the end) salt, pepper and a little Montreal Chicken seasoning, water to cover (usually ends up being about 2 cups) and two beef bouillon cubes. After 30 minutes I stir in some flour and serve it on top of rice. It's definitely nothing fancy but it's sooo good!

Seemed quite bland alone. Followed advice in reviews and added Worcester sauce. I added onion and garlic powder and hot sauce. Also, cornstarch for thicker sauce. Probably won't be making again, even with these additions.

This is a great starter recipe. I sounded a little bland the way it was so I added minced garlic, corse ground black pepper, and mexican seasoning to the ground beef. I used canned potatoes, carrots and corn for the veggies. It was good for something quick and easy.
