Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 3 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Form into small meatballs.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add meatballs and brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-6 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Add potatoes, diced tomatoes, beef broth, bay leaf, thyme, and tomato paste. Stir to combine.
  5. Return meatballs to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  6. Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes, until vegetables are tender and meatballs are cooked through.
  7. Remove bay leaf, adjust seasoning if needed, and garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use a mix of beef and pork for more flavorful meatballs.
  • This stew can be made ahead and reheats well for leftovers.
  • Serve with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
