Lazy Meatball Stew (Ground Meat & Potato Stew) Ingredients: • 2½ lbs ground beef • 2 tbsp Britscookin Cajun seasoning (or to taste) • 1 bell pepper, diced • 1 rib celery, diced • 1 yellow onion, diced • 2 tbsp minced garlic • 5 cups chicken or beef broth • 1 cup dark brown roux (homemade or jarred) •. 1 tsp garlic salt • 1 tsp black pepper • 4–5 dashes Worcestershire sauce • 4–5 medium potatoes, peeled and diced • Water, as needed ⸻ Instructions: 1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Season with Cajun seasoning while it cooks. 2. Add the diced bell pepper, celery, and onion (the trinity). Cook until vegetables are softened. Drain excess grease if needed. 3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. 4. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer. 5. Stir in the roux until fully combined. Then season with garlic salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. 6. Cover and simmer for at LEAST 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The longer it cooks, the better it tastes… ;) 7. Add diced potatoes and a little water if the stew looks too thick. Simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 20–30 minutes. 8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot over rice!! Tip- it makes GREAT leftovers :) #cajun #stew #easyrecipes #louisiana #roux #comfortfood
