1 1/2 lbs. ground lean beef
1 can sliced carrots (or fresh cooked)
1 can sliced potatoes (or fresh cooked)
1 pkg. brown Serv-A-Gravy
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
1 dash hot sauce
Onion salt
Garlic salt
Oregano (a pinch)
Marjoram (a pinch)
Sweet basil (a pinch)
Sprinkle of pepper

In heavy large pot oiled with Puritan oil, brown the ground beef (stir frequently). When fully brown stir in the carrots, potatoes and add the gravy made from the directions on the box. Add the sauces, the salts, then a pinch of oregano, marjoram, pepper and basil. Stir all together and simmer slowly with lid on the pot.

If more gravy is needed, just add water that has cornstarch dissolved in it (about a tablespoon of cornstarch) until there is enough gravy for a stew-like consistency. (Usually no more than a 1/2 cup to a cup is needed.)

After simmering about 15-20 minutes and stirring occasionally, serve on bread. Also serve a green vegetable with the stew or a salad for a complete meal.
