Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 4 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 cans mixed vegetables (with liquid)
  • 1 can sweet corn (with liquid)
  • 1 can condensed tomato soup
  • 1 can petite diced tomatoes
  • 1 can cut green beans (with liquid)
  • 1–2 tsp salt (to taste)
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp sugar

Equipment

  • large slow cooker (6–8 quarts)
  • Large skillet
  • wooden spoon
  • cutting board
  • knife

Method
 

  1. Peel and dice the Yukon Gold potatoes into small cubes.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add the browned beef and cubed potatoes to the slow cooker.
  4. Pour in the mixed vegetables, corn, tomato soup, diced tomatoes, and green beans (including the liquids).
  5. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar.
  6. Stir everything together until well combined.
  7. Cover and cook on low heat for 2–3 hours or until potatoes are tender.
  8. Taste and adjust seasonings before serving.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of liquid by draining one or two of the canned vegetables.
  • If you prefer a stew-like texture, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water toward the end of cooking.
  • Leftovers taste even better the next day as the flavors meld together.
