Ground beef and potato stew

Ground Beef & Potato Stew: 7 Ways to Make It Even More Amazing

A cozy, hearty stew that brings all the comfort of grandma’s kitchen to your weeknight table — warm, beefy, and perfect with a slice of crusty bread.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb 85% lean ground beef
  • 2 large russet potatoes, cubed
  • 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 oz can tomato paste
  • 10 oz can mild Rotel tomatoes, drained
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • 15 oz can whole kernel corn, drained
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Break it up with a spoon and cook until no longer pink. Drain excess grease, but leave a little for flavor.
  2. Add the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, until translucent and fragrant.
  3. Add the cubed potatoes, beef broth, water, tomato paste, and drained Rotel tomatoes. Stir to combine.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally and add a splash of water if needed.
  5. Stir in the drained corn, season with salt and pepper to taste, and simmer uncovered for another 5–10 minutes.

Notes

Swap ground beef for turkey or chicken if desired. For a thicker stew, mash a few potatoes before serving. Spicy Rotel or red pepper flakes can add extra heat.
