Ingredients

2 pounds lean ground beef
1 small onion chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons salt more to taste
1 teaspoon cracked pepper
12 ounces frozen mixed vegetables
2 Yukon gold potatoes peeled and diced
28 ounces canned diced tomatoes
4 cups beef broth
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef to the skillet and break the meat up. Once broken up, add the onion and garlic and continue cooking until the meat is cooked through. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the meat and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Pour the beef mixture into a 6 quart slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients (do not drain the tomatoes) and stir.
Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 7-8 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
Remove the bay leaves. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper before serving.
