Instructions
- Heat a large dutch oven or stock pot over medium heat. Once hot, add ground beef and break up with a wooden spoon. Season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Add onion and garlic and continue to cook until no longer pink. Add beef stock and potatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
