Directions

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it’s no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
In the slow cooker, combine the beef, potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic.
Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes, then add Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the vegetables are tender.
Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot.

Variations & Tips
For a twist, you can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or use beef stew meat for a chunkier texture. If you like a bit of heat, try adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. To make it more filling, consider stirring in a can of drained kidney beans or peas towards the end of cooking. And for extra vegetables, throw in some frozen green beans or corn in the last hour of cooking.
