Hamburger Stew

I make this recipe with my Instant Pot, which is the fastest way. However, simmering on a pot over the stove or on low for 6-8 hours in a crock pot is also a great option!
My family loves this recipe. I serve it with shredded cheddar cheese and crackers.
- Prep Time:
- Cook Time:
- Servings: 4-6
Ingredients
- (1-2 lb) 80/20 Ground Beef
- (1) Onion, Diced
- (1 Bag) Frozen Mixed Vegetables
- (2) Medium Potatoes, Cubed
- (5-6 c.) Beef Broth
- (1 Packet) Onion Soup* optional
- (1) Bay Leaf
- (1 1/2 tsp) Italian Seasoning
- (2 tsp) Garlic Powder
- (1 tsp) Salt
- (1/2 tsp) Ground Pepper
- (1 T) Worcestershire Sauce
- (14 oz Can) Diced Tomatoes
- (6 oz) Tomato Paste
Directions
This recipe is for the Instant Pot.
- Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté. Add ground beef & onions. Cook, stirring until the meat is cooked. Don't break up meat completely; some chunks are nice.
- Add the cubed potatoes, beef broth, onion soup mix (if you'd like), bay leaf, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir. Add more seasoning as desired (I sometimes double this recipe).
- Dump the can of diced tomatoes and tomato paste on top and do not stir.
- Cancel the Sauté setting. Pressure Cook on high for 7 minutes.
- When the cooking cycle is finished, let the pot sit for 15 minutes on natural release. Then carefully, in short bursts, release the remaining steam manually by turning the steam release knob to the venting position.
- Stir the soup well to incorporate the tomato paste.
- Then stir in the frozen vegetables and let them sit with the lid on for a few minutes before serving. The veggies will cook in the heat of the hot soup.
- Serve. Freeze leftovers. It can easily be made on the stove or in a crockpot.
