American Goulash

This comes from the "Down Home" section of the cooking journal.  A good meal for a cool evening.  Winter is coming...at least in Minnesota it is! 

1lb extra-lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
14 ½ oz. can diced tomatoes
16 oz. kidney beans, drained and rinsed
½ cup green pepper, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. oregano
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 bay leaf
¼ tsp. black pepper
¼ cup white cooking wine

Method:

1. Brown lean ground beef, onion, and garlic in a nonstick skillet over high heat.
2. Combine the rest of the ingredients except the white cooking wine.
3. Deglaze the pan using the white cooking wine and pour deglaze mixture on top of other ingredients in slow cooker.

Make it work:
This tastes wonderful over mashed potatoes,
or noodles of your choice. If you have
Worcestershire sauce in you can add it.
