Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 bag (12–16 oz) frozen mixed vegetables
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

2. Transfer the cooked ground beef to a slow cooker.
3. Add the diced potatoes, onion, garlic, diced tomatoes, and frozen mixed vegetables.
4. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
5. Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir everything together.
6. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.
7. Stir the soup gently and taste. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
8. Ladle into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread or crackers, if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Brown the ground beef before adding it to the slow cooker for a deeper, richer flavor.
• Cut the potatoes into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
• Add extra beef broth if you prefer a thinner soup.
• For a thicker consistency, lightly mash a few cooked potato pieces into the broth.
• Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
