Instructions 

  • Brown ground beef with minced garlic in large pot. (you could also use a crock pot for slower cooking) I like using ground beef in my stews because it's inexpensive, cooks quickly, and always on hand. Specifically, I use ground chuck because there is little to no grease left after browning.
  • When beef is brown, add the entire box of beef stock and stir.
  • Add tomato sauce and stewed tomatoes.
  • At this point, add all of your favorite veggies! I use whatever I have on hand at the time. For this recipe, I added onions, potatoes, and carrots. I prefer my vegetables chunky, so I didn't even chop the baby carrots. (it also saves time)
  • Lastly, I throw in some spices. I use what I have in the pantry at the time, and I never measure. For this recipe, I added salt, pepper, paprika, celery salt and parsley.
  • Scoop stew with a ladle into a bowl. Add shredded cheese for extra flavor. Also great with crackers, bread, or poured over macaroni noodles. Enjoy.
