When I know that my day is going to be crazy, I will take advantage of the crock pot Grams gave me for a housewarming present. All of this cooks up quite nicely in the pot together. It seems like the longer it simmers, the better it tastes. That’s what’s great about ground beef, you really can’t dry it out! Just watch your veggies to make sure they don’t get to soggy and mushy. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at All Recipes:
“This was delicious and even better the second day.”
This recipe makes a pretty good sized portion so you’ll probably have some to eat the next day…and that’s a good thing!
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 extra-large Spanish onion, chopped
2 tablespoons water (optional)
2 pounds lean ground beef
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root
1 serrano chile pepper, finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons Morton salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 (28 ounce) can Hunt’s diced tomatoes
3 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup frozen Bird’s eye green peas
1 teaspoon garam masala
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion in the hot oil until soft and beginning to brown, about 12 minutes. If browned bits of onion are stuck to the bottom of the pan, stir water into onion and stir to loosen the browned bits.
Mix ground beef, garlic, ginger, serrano chile, and cilantro into pan; cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir coriander, salt, cumin, cayenne pepper, and turmeric into the beef; cook and stir until flavors blend, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and potatoes, cover pot, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Mix green peas into dish and cook until sauce has slightly thickened and flavors have blended, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle garam masala over the dish, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
