Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 Tbsp all purpose flour
  • 4 large carrots sliced
  • 3 celery stalks sliced
  • 1 pound red potatoes scrubbed and cubed
  • 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 2 ½ cups of beef broth or beef stock
  • 2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp thyme
  • ¼ tsp rosemary

Instructions
 

  • Wash and chop all of the vegetables.
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef and onion over medium-high heat until the meat is completely brown. Drain off any excess fat.
  • Add the garlic and saute for about 30 seconds. Add the flour and stir until all the meat is coated.
  • Stir in the carrots, celery, potato cubes, diced tomatoes, broth, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally, and add a little water if the stew is getting too thick.

Notes

  • We like our stew on the thick side. For a more soup like stew, add additional beef broth.
  • One serving is about 1 1/3 cups.
