THIS DISH is one my husband and I enjoy any time of the year, and if I don't have leftover ham, I buy a thick slice and use that. Served with a salad and rolls, it's a quick meal for two, but it's also easily adapted for a larger number. -Judy Hall, Lockport, Illinois

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ¼ pounds 85% lean ground beef
1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup 1/2-inch pieces celery
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 (32 ounce) carton beef stock
1 ½ cups peeled and chopped carrots
5 sprigs fresh parsley
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh sage
1 piece cooking twine
1 large bay leaf
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups chopped red potatoes
1 ½ cups 1-inch cut fresh green beans
1 ½ cups frozen yellow corn kernels, thawed
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained

Steps:

  • Heat a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and cook ground beef until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add onion and celery and cook, stirring, until onion is soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Pour in beef stock and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil and add carrots.
  • Tie parsley, rosemary, thyme, and sage together into a bundle with cooking twine and add to the pot. Add bay leaf and season soup with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium and add potatoes, green beans, corn, and drained tomatoes. Return soup to a boil, partially with a lid so steam can still escape, and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 25 minutes. Remove herb bundle and bay leaf and discard. Adjust salt and pepper, if needed.

MOM'S BASIC VEGETABLE BEEF STEW



Mom's Basic Vegetable Beef Stew image

This basic recipe uses simple and often used ingredients. It can be spiced up any way, but our spices we have found bring out the best flavor and they are the key to this recipe. Ground pork or ground lamb can be substituted for ground beef. It can also be cooked on the stovetop, which we do, or slow cooker. Eat as a stew or serve over rice, crushed chips or crackers, or cornbread.

  • Let the stew simmer for a while: The longer you simmer the stew, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer it for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours if you have time.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This stew is great served with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
