In browsing here, I'm reminded of a meal that my older sisters made in 4-H many, many, moons ago. Hamburger patty, sliced or diced potato and carrot, some chopped onion if desired. Other veggies...
Our favorite meat was sliced smoked sausage. We would stop at a store and browse the produce for the vegetables, grab a package of smoked sausage and we were good to go.The variety is endless. One "trick" we often use is to sprinkle some powdered broth or onion soup mix on the vegetables.
