| Preparation Time | 10-20 minutes |
| Cooking Time | 25-40 minutes |
| Total Time | 35-60 minutes |
| Level of Difficulty | Medium |
Ingredients
- 3 cups mixed vegetables (I use Birds Eye frozen mixed vegetables)
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 diced onion
- 28 oz diced tomatoes with juice
- 1 can condensed tomato soup
- 2 medium potatoes (cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
- pepper
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tsp Italian herbs
- 1 lb ground beef
- 3 1/2 cups beef stock (I use Pacific Foods organic beef broth)
- salt
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Step 1: Brown the Onion, Ground Beef, and Garlic
Begin by placing a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat.
Add chopped onion, ground beef, and minced garlic to the skillet.
Cook these ingredients, stirring occasionally, until the ground beef is browned and no pink remains.
Once fully cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Step 2: Add and Simmer Ingredients
To the browned beef and onion mixture, add diced potatoes, beef broth, canned tomatoes, tomato soup, Worcestershire sauce, your chosen seasoning, and bay leaves.
Stir everything together well to combine.
Cover the skillet or pot and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the potatoes to begin cooking.
Step 3: Incorporate the Vegetables and Finish Cooking
After the initial simmering time, stir in your chosen mixed vegetables to the pot.
Continue simmering the mixture, still covered, for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Check for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Once the stew has cooked to perfection, remove the bay leaves and give the mixture a final stir.
Serve your hearty and flavorful stew hot, garnished with any additional toppings you prefer.
Enjoy your delicious and comforting meal!
