Ground Beef Hobo Stew

This recipe calls for a nice mix of canned and fresh items as well as some spices and condiments like worcestershire sauce. And while the ingredient list is kind of long the prep is quite easy. And as we head into cooler weather (today's high is in the 60's for me) a nice stew simmering on the stove sounds great to me!
