Hobo Ground Beef And Vegetable Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, celery, and carrots until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir garlic into onion mixture; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove pot from heat.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in batches in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer browned beef to onion mixture in the large pot using a slotted spoon.
• Heat onion-beef mixture over medium heat. Stir vegetable juice, beef broth, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, beef bouillon, thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper into beef mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer to blend the flavors, at least 1 hour.
• Stir corn, kidney beans, cannellini beans, great Northern beans, green beans, peas, lima beans, and okra into beef mixture; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until heated through, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Stir beef broth, ground sirloin, corn, green beans, peas, tomato sauce, carrots, potatoes, onion, celery, garlic, parsley, celery seed, and bay leaves together in a slow cooker.
• Cook on Low for 4 hours. Check for moisture and add broth as needed. Continue cooking another 4 hours. Season with salt and black pepper.

Steps:

• Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a small bowl, mix together the salt, ground pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and parsley. Set aside.
• In another medium-sized bowl, mix together cream of mushroom soup and BBQ sauce.
• Layer half of the potatoes, half of the onions, half of the carrots, and half of the green beans in the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle half of the seasonings over the vegetables.
• Break the ground beef in small bite-sized pieces (uncooked) and place half over the vegetables.
• Spoon half of the sauce mixture over the meat.
• Repeat the entire process all over again, layering it on top of each other.
• Place the lid on top of the slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3.5-4 hours.
• Scoop servings into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese (and more BBQ sauce or even ketchup, it desired).
