Directions

Heat Fat of Choice in large, heavy bottomed pot over medium heat

Add Onion, Carrots, Zucchini and Yellow Squash and cook up until they get soften, about 5-7 minutes

Add ground beef in to brown and break up into crumbles with spoon. Continue until beef is mostly cooked

Add garlic and all seasonings through salt and pepper and toss with the meat and the vegetables

Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth and apple cider vinegar

Bring pot up to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer

Simmer, mostly covered but with lid a little cocked for 45 minutes

Add bell peppers

Simmer with the lid completely off for 15 more minutes

Serve with toppings of your choice — My recommendations are: avocado, black olives and diced scallions. YUM!

Notes

Add a jalapeño and double the garlic. Try w stew meat next time!
