Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef can sub w/ stew meat
  • 1 - 32 oz box of beef stock can sub w/ beef stock
  • 1 - 15 oz can of tomato sauce can sub w/ tomato soup
  • 1 - 15 oz can of stewed tomatoes
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 4 medium potatoes any kind, chopped
  • 2 handfuls of carrots
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • paprika to taste
  • parsley to taste
  • celery salt to taste
  • shredded cheese
  • note: other vegetables I have used before include celery squash, and green pepper

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.
