1 pound of ground beef 4 cups cubed peeled potatoes (1/2 inch cubes) 1 small onion 3-8oz cans of tomato sauce 4 cups water 2 tsp. salt 1 1/2 tsp. pepper 1/2 to 1 tsp. pepper sauce ( I start with a 1/4 tsp. taste depends on how spicy you like things.
In a dutch oven or large kettle, brown ground beef and drain off fat. Add potatoes, onion and tomato sauce. Stir in water, salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour or until the potatoes are tender and the soup has thickened. Serves 6 to 8.
