1 lb. hamburger
4 med. potatoes
2 med. carrots
1/2 med. onion
2 stalks celery
1 tsp. beef bouillon or 1 cube
Pepper to taste

Roll hamburger into small balls, size of walnut, brown in 1 tablespoon shortening in hot skillet. Cook sliced vegetables and bouillon in water to just cover the vegetables. Cook until almost done. Sprinkle flour to coat meatballs in skillet; stir. Add the water from the cooked vegetables to make a gravy and add the vegetables. Simmer 5-10 minutes. Peas can be added for color during this times. Add a touch of Kitchen Bouquet if gravy isn't dark enough.
