Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef

- 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 cups mixed vegetables
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Brown the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks to ensure even browning and no large clumps remain.
- Sauté onion and garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion is softened and translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer to crockpot: Move the browned beef, onions, and garlic mixture into the crockpot.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add the diced tomatoes (with juice), beef broth, mixed vegetables, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to the crockpot. Stir everything well to combine all flavors evenly.
- Slow cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours, until vegetables are tender and flavors meld together.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the crockpot hamburger mixture warm, perfect as a meal on its own or paired with your choice of sides.
Notes
- For added flavor, use seasoned ground beef to enhance the taste without extra seasoning.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables to your preference, such as adding carrots, peas, or corn.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
