Description

There's nothing more filling than a hearty hamburger stew with potatoes, tomatoes, and onions, and this one is ready in under an hour.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
3 cups water
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
4 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
2 medium tomatoes, chopped, or more to taste
1/4 cup chopped white onion
1 (1 5/12 ounce) package sazon seasoning (such as Goya®)
2 cubes beef bouillon
1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 large bay leaf
ground black pepper to taste
4 ounces frozen mixed vegetables (such as Birds Eye®)

Directions

1 Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
2 Transfer beef to a large pot and add water, tomato sauce, potatoes, tomatoes, onion, sazon, bouillon cubes, garlic, chili powder, cayenne pepper, bay leaf, and black pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Add frozen vegetables and continue to cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes more.
