Ingredients


908 gm Russet potato (peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes)
227 gm Carrots (about 4 carrots; peeled and sliced)
1 medium Yellow onion (diced)
2 clove(s) Garlic (minced)
1/2 tsp Rosemary, dried
1/2 tsp Thyme, dried
1/4 tsp Black pepper
454 gm Beef, ground, lean
1 can (28oz) Tomatoes, canned, stewed (or diced)
2 cup Beef broth (stock), low-sodium
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp Soy sauce
1 cup Frozen green peas (or frozen mixed vegetables)

Instructions


  1. Add the potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and pepper to a slow cooker (5 quarts or larger).
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet, then drain off the excess fat. Add the browned and drained beef to the slow cooker along with the can of stewed tomatoes (with juices). 
  3. Pour the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce into the slow cooker. 
  4. Stir the contents of the slow cooker well to make sure everything is evenly combined. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 8 hours.
  5. When the stew has finished cooking, remove the lid and stir. Use the back of a spoon to slightly mash some of the potatoes, which will help thicken the stew (this is an optional step).
  6. Add the frozen peas (no need to thaw) and stir to combine. 
  7. Taste the stew and add extra salt if needed. 
  8. Once the peas have thawed in the stew, serve hot with a dinner roll or a slice of bread for dipping.

Quick Tips: 

  • KITCHEN HACKS: Check the produce section of your local grocery store for pre-cut carrots and onions. Jars of pre-minced garlic can also be found in this section of the grocery store. If you cook with a lot of garlic, having this product on hand can save a ton of time in the kitchen by eliminating steps in the cooking process, such as peeling, mincing, and cleaning a garlic press. 
  • STORAGE: After cooking, divide it into single portions (for faster cooling) and refrigerate. It will stay good in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Leftovers can also be transferred to the freezer for longer storage (about 3 months). Reheat quickly in the microwave, or slowly over medium-low heat in a pot on the stove.
