Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 bell peppers, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • Salt to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  • Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the pot. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the diced tomatoes and beef broth. Add the Cajun seasoning and a pinch of salt.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the stew thickens slightly.
  • Taste and adjust salt if needed. Ladle into bowls and top with chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

If the Cajun seasoning you use is very salty, start with one tablespoon and add more at the end. The bell peppers release liquid as they cook, so the stew stays saucy without extra thickeners. Leftovers reheat well on the stove with a splash of broth to loosen the texture.
