Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large russet potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 1.5 cups green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes with their juice
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Push the beef to one side of the skillet and add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the diced potatoes and carrots to the skillet, stirring to combine with the beef and onions.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, thyme, and paprika. Stir well to evenly coat the vegetables and beef in the seasoning.
Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the green beans to the skillet and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the potatoes and vegetables are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
