Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes (with juice)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  1. Sautéing the Base: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Layering the Vegetables: In the crock pot, layer the diced potatoes evenly at the bottom.
  3. Adding Carrots: Next, add the sliced carrots on top of the potatoes.
  4. Distributing Green Beans: Then, distribute the green beans over the carrots.
  5. Topping with Beef Mixture: Add the browned beef mixture on top of the vegetables.
  6. Pouring in Tomatoes: Pour in the can of diced tomatoes, including the juice, over the beef and veggies.
  7. Incorporating Kidney Beans: Add the drained kidney beans next, ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the mixture.
  8. Mixing the Broth: In a separate bowl, combine the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, thyme, oregano, and bay leaf. Stir well to mix.
  9. Covering the Stew Mixture: Pour this mixture evenly over the ingredients in the crock pot, making sure everything is covered.
  10. Cooking: Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.
  11. Final Touches: Once cooking is complete, remove the bay leaf before serving. Stir the stew gently and serve hot.

Notes

This stew pairs beautifully with crusty bread or rolls. Can be made vegetarian by replacing beef with lentils or tofu.
