Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small sweet onion, small diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 (10.5 ounce) cans cream of celery soup
  • 1 ½ cups beef stock

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider using garlic and onion powder with roasted or smoked varieties.
  • You can substitute cream of celery soup with cream of mushroom or chicken if preferred.
  • Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand.
