Ingredients
- ½ cup yellow onion diced
- ½ cup green pepper diced
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- ½ cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ cups beef broth
- 1 can crushed tomatoes 28oz/796ml can
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add ground beef, onions, and green pepper to a large pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until beef is no longer pink and vegetables are softened. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Stir in beef broth and crushed tomatoes.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes. Serve hot.
Notes
- Thickness: This soup is thick, like a spaghetti sauce. Add a splash of broth or water if you’d like it thinner.
- Storage: Store leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The soup thickens overnight, so thin it with broth or water when you reheat it.
- Freezing: Cool completely, then freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
- Slow cooker: Brown the beef, onion, and green pepper, then drain the grease. Then add everything to the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours.
- Garnish: Fresh parsley is optional. I add it for color.
