Skillet Supper

This is a family favorite during the winter time. It is quick to fix and feeds a lot of people. It also uses vegetables which tend to be more in season during the winter months. Our family of four easily gets 3 meals out of this one recipe. You can omit the meat if you wish but it does add flavoring.

1 lb grass fed local ground beef
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
8 oz mushrooms, sliced (optional)
1 medium head of cabbage, sliced
4-6 carrots, sliced into circles
4-5 potatoes, sliced
2 cups veggie broth
1 tsp basil
1 tsp salt (tends to need this because of the potatoes)
2 bay leaves
1/2 tsp pepper

In large pan (I use my 6 quart dutch oven), fry hamburger, onion and garlic until browned. Layer on top of hamburger combination-carrots, potatoes, seasonings, mushrooms and cabbage in that order. Add broth and turn it to slow simmer for about 10-15 minutes with lid on pan. Stir then allow to simmer with lid on pan stirring occasionally until all vegetables are tender. This tastes great served along with a fresh homemade loaf of bread. Enjoy!

I have also browned the ground beef and then put this all together in the crockpot and let it simmer all day. This is also delicious.
