Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds of ground beef
  • 4 Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and cubed)
  • 2 cans of mixed vegetables (with their liquid)
  • 1 can of sweet corn (with its liquid)

  • 2 tablespoons of sugar (the secret ingredient!)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cube the Yukon Gold potatoes into small, bite-sized pieces.
