HAM STEW FOR TWO
THIS DISH is one my husband and I enjoy any time of the year, and if I don't have leftover ham, I buy a thick slice and use that. Served with a salad and rolls, it's a quick meal for two, but it's also easily adapted for a larger number. -Judy Hall, Lockport, Illinois

Steps:
- Heat a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and cook ground beef until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add onion and celery and cook, stirring, until onion is soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in beef stock and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil and add carrots.
- Tie parsley, rosemary, thyme, and sage together into a bundle with cooking twine and add to the pot. Add bay leaf and season soup with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Increase heat to medium and add potatoes, green beans, corn, and drained tomatoes. Return soup to a boil, partially with a lid so steam can still escape, and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 25 minutes. Remove herb bundle and bay leaf and discard. Adjust salt and pepper, if needed.

MOM'S BASIC VEGETABLE BEEF STEW
This basic recipe uses simple and often used ingredients. It can be spiced up any way, but our spices we have found bring out the best flavor and they are the key to this recipe. Ground pork or ground lamb can be substituted for ground beef. It can also be cooked on the stovetop, which we do, or slow cooker. Eat as a stew or serve over rice, crushed chips or crackers, or cornbread.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of ham: Ham hocks or ham steaks are great choices for this stew, as they add a lot of flavor and fall apart easily.
- Don't be afraid to use frozen vegetables: Frozen vegetables are a great way to save time and money, and they work just as well as fresh vegetables in this stew.
- Add some herbs and spices: A few simple herbs and spices can really elevate the flavor of this stew. Try adding thyme, rosemary, oregano, garlic powder, or onion powder.
- Let the stew simmer for a while: The longer you simmer the stew, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer it for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours if you have time.
- Serve with your favorite sides: This stew is great served with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
