Hearty Amish Hamburger Stew

Instructions

Step 1: In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed.

Step 2: Add diced onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3: Stir in the cubed potatoes, frozen vegetables, corn, green beans, and diced tomatoes (with their juice).

Step 4: Pour in the beef broth and water, then stir in the tomato paste. Mix well to combine.

Step 5: Season with salt, pepper, paprika, parsley, onion powder, and garlic powder. Bring the stew to a boil.

Step 6: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the flavors have melded together.

Step 7: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or biscuits for a truly satisfying meal.
