Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
4 medium red potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch pieces
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup frozen green peas
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat.
Transfer the cooked ground beef to the slow cooker.
Add diced potatoes, sliced carrots, diced onion, and minced garlic to the slow cooker.
Pour in the beef broth, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes with their juice.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the vegetables are tender.
About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen green peas.
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.
Cover and cook on high for an additional 15 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
Stir well and serve hot.
