Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Wooden spoon
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 medium potatoes, diced
  • 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) green beans, drained
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Stir and cook for 3 minutes until the onion softens.
  • Stir in the diced potatoes, diced tomatoes, beef broth, salt, pepper, and oregano. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  • Add the drained green beans and stir gently. Simmer uncovered for 5 more minutes to heat through.

Notes

Use frozen green beans instead of canned if that is what you have, but add them in the last 10 minutes so they keep some texture. Leftovers thicken as they sit, so add a splash of broth when reheating. This stew pairs well with a slice of bread for dipping.
