Instructions

Brown the Ground Beef:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the Verde Farms 80/20 Ground Beef over medium heat until browned. Break it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess fat and set aside. Sauté the Aromatics:
In the same pot, add the diced celery, carrots, and minced fresh garlic. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened and fragrant. Build the Stew Base:
Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute to combine.
Add the diced tomatoes (with juice), green beans, corn (with juice), and the browned ground beef to the pot. Stir to combine. Add Liquids: Add the liquids:
Pour in the V8 drink and beef broth, stirring to mix all ingredients thoroughly. Simmer the Stew:
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the carrots and celery are tender, and the flavors have melded together. Taste and Adjust:
Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Serve:
Ladle the hearty stew into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread or a side of your choice.
