Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil for sautéing
  • 1.25 lb lean ground beef 85–90% lean
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1.25 cup diced carrots
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 28 oz diced tomatoes with their juices
  • 6 cup beef broth low sodium if preferred
  • 2 cup peeled diced potatoes russet or Yukon gold
  • 1.5 cup frozen mixed vegetables corn, peas, and green beans
  • 1.5 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 0.75 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1.25 tsp kosher salt to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes optional heat
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  • Brown the ground beef, breaking it into crumbles, until no pink remains. Drain excess fat if needed.
  • Stir in onion, celery, and carrots. Cook until slightly softened, about 4–5 minutes.
  • Add garlic and tomato paste. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute until fragrant and glossy.
  • Pour in diced tomatoes and beef broth. Add potatoes, Worcestershire, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, 18–20 minutes.
  • Stir in frozen mixed vegetables. Simmer uncovered until heated through, 5–8 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

Make it your own: swap mixed veggies for chopped zucchini or green beans, or add a handful of cooked macaroni in the last 5 minutes. For storage, chill and refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months; add a splash of broth when reheating if thickened.
