Preheat a skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
Wash and peel the potatoes and carrots. Slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds and cut the carrots into bite-sized chunks.
Slice the celery stalks and chop the onion into small pieces.
In a 6-quart crock pot, layer the ingredients in the following order: potato slices, ground beef, chopped onion, carrot chunks, and celery slices.
Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and garlic powder evenly over the layered ingredients.
Pour the canned diced tomatoes (with juice) and tomato soup over the top of the layers. Spread them gently with a spoon to ensure even coverage.
Add the frozen green beans on top of the mixture as the final layer.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on low for 6 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors are well blended.
Once cooked, stir gently to combine the layers, and taste to adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve immediately with crusty bread for a complete meal. Enjoy!
