2 lbs lean hamburger
6 cups cold water
4 diced carrots
4 medium diced onions
1 green pepper diced
2 tbs minced garlic
1 tsp. salt
2 tbs parsley
1 tsp. basil
3-4 tbs flour
In a large soup pot, measure cold water. Add ground beef and break up into small pieces with your fingers. Add in the vegetables and seasoning. Simmer slowly for several hours. About 15 minutes before you are ready to eat, thicken with 3-4 tbs. of flour dissolved in 1/2 cup water. (Note: You may need a little more flour for a thicker gravy)
Serve over hot mashed potatoes!
