South Seas Combo (Ground Beef)

Ingredients
2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup (1 medium) onion, chopped
1 cup celery, sliced
2-1/2 cups apple, pared and coarsely chopped
2 to 3 teaspoons curry powder, or to taste
2 tablespoons unbleached flour
2 teaspoons instant beef bouillon
1 cup water
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
2 tablespoons sherry, optional
2 bananas, peeled and sliced

4 cups hot, cooked rice

Instructions
Cook and stir the meat and onion in a large skillet until the onion is tender and the meat is browned. Drain off the excess fat. Stir in the celery, apple, and curry powder and cook, uncovered, for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the remaining ingredients, except the bananas and rice, and heat to boiling. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the bananas, re-cover and cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Serve over the hot rice.

If you wish, you can garnish the dish with crisply fried bacon or chopped peanuts when you serve it.

NOTE: You can substitute 1 (13-1/2 ounce) can of pineapple chunks, that has been drained, for the sliced bananas.
