Irish Stew is a traditional Irish dish that has been around for centuries. It's often made with lamb, but this version uses ground beef instead. The beef is simmered with vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and parsnips to create a hearty, filling meal that's perfect for a cold winter night. Tammy's Irish Stew is a classic comfort food that's easy to make and will warm your soul. It's a great meal to share with friends and family, as the recipe makes enough to feed a large crowd.

Instructions

1.	In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat.
2.	Add 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot, and then chop the peeled potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and onions into bite-sized chunks and add them to the pot as well.
3.	Stir the contents of the pot and bring them to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover the pot, and simmer for 60-90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
