Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 medium russet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes (canned, including juice)
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain off excess grease if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the diced carrots, celery, and potato, cooking for another 2-3 minutes to slightly soften the vegetables.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (including the juice), beef broth, and tomato paste. Stir well to combine.
Season with the oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
