Ground Beef Hobo Stew

This is a recipe request from my husband who found a similar recipe online. I’ve cooked this numerous times over the past year and I’ve been told it is much more flavorful when cooked in a heavy pot instead of in the slow cooker. You can adjust the vegetables depending on what you have on hand. Also, this recipe is very freezer friendly and when I make a big batch, I put the leftovers in freezer friendly containers so we can unfreeze at anytime.

We leave the onion out as in most of our recipes but you can add a cup of chopped onion when you are cooking the peppers!
