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...
Boil large pot of water, add small, new unpeeled red potatoes, peeled carrots, a peeled and quartered onion, husked sweet corn and a ring bologna or sausage of your choice. Boil gently until done. So good eaten at the picnic table and even better with a great view (think Niagra Falls).
