Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 quart vegetable/tomato juice (click here or store bought works fine)
  • 4 medium potatoes (diced (you can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on is good too))
  • 1 cup frozen corn (canned corn works well too.)
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2-3 carrots (sliced)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper (to taste (start with 2 teaspoons of each))

Directions

  1. 1

    In a skillet cook ground beef with onion until browned and season with salt and pepper.  

  2. 2

    Place cooked ground beef mixture and remaining ingredients in a large slow cooker and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-6 hours or until potatoes are fork-tender.

  3. 3

    *If you do not want to use a slow cooker, brown beef and onion in a large pot or Dutch oven and add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
