- 1 pound ground beef

- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 cups beef broth
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 large carrots, sliced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cups green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix until just combined and roll into golf-ball-sized meatballs.
- In a large baking dish or Dutch oven, combine beef broth, potatoes, carrots, onion, green beans, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and the bay leaf. Stir well.
- Carefully place the meatballs on top of the vegetable and broth mixture.
- Cover the dish tightly with a lid or foil and bake for 1 hour.
- Remove the cover and bake for an additional 30 minutes to brown the meatballs.
- Let the stew rest for 10 minutes, remove the bay leaf, garnish with parsley, and serve.
Notes
- Do not overmix the meatball mixture to ensure a tender texture.
- The stew is excellent for meal prep as flavors deepen the next day.
- Ensure the baking dish is large enough to prevent overflow during bubbling.
