Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2 medium onions thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 medium potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
1 large green pepper chopped
2 ribs celery chopped
1 (14.5-ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon dried basil

Directions

In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook, while crumbling, until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain the excess grease.
Add an even layer of the onions over the ground beef and sprinkle with 1/3 of the salt and 1/3 of the pepper.
Top the onions with an even layer of the potatoes and sprinkle with 1/2 of the remaining salt and 1/2 of the remaining pepper.
Top the potatoes with an even layer of the green peppers and sprinkle with the remaining salt and the remaining pepper.
Add the celery, the tomatoes and their juices, and the basil on top of the green pepper layer.
Bring the beef-and-veggie mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer the beef-and-veggie mixture until the vegetables are tender, about 1 hour.
Serve.
