Ingredients
Scale

- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 4 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth)

- 1 tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Optional garnishes: fresh parsley or shredded cheddar
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot. Sauté onion, carrots, and celery for 5-7 minutes until softened.
- Add ground beef and garlic. Cook 6-8 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in diced tomatoes, broth, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer.
