  • 3 large cloves garlic minced
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes (Chili ready OR Italian seasoned)
  • 1 14 oz can pinto beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 11 oz can corn with bell peppers well drained
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup frozen petite peas
  • 1 cup cut green beans

  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic salt OR table salt

  • 1 tsp dry Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 large bay leaf
  • 4 medium russet potatoes bite size cubes

Instructions

  • In a 6 quart Dutch oven or similar heavy bottomed pot, cook onion and celery in a couple of drizzles of olive oil over medium high heat until translucent. Add garlic cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.
  • To the pot add ground beef. Cook until no pink remains, then drain excess fat from pan.
  • To the pot add tomatoes, beans, corn, carrots, peas, green beans, beef broth, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, pepper, chili powder, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce and bay leaf. Mix until fully combined.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium high and cook uncovered for 5 minutes.
  • Add potatoes. Mix well. Cover with lid slightly offset and simmer on medium low for 20 minutes or just until potatoes are fork tender.
  • Remove bay leaf add chopped celery leaf or parsley and serve immediately. (Cool and freeze for up to 2 months.)

Notes

  • If you're in a hurry and would like to take a shortcut with the vegetables, you can use 4 cups of frozen mixed vegetables in place of the carrots, peas, corn and green beans. Should you choose to do so, there's no need to thaw the vegetables first.
  • You can substitute 1/2 cup ketchup for tomato sauce, if desired. Ketchup always goes well with hamburgers!
