Ground Beef and Pepperoni Stew
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 6-8 servings 1x
Description
I don’t know about you, but I managed to stockpile a LOT of ground beef during the CQ (Covid Quarantine). This recipe was born out of a need to use up some of that beef, as well as some other items in the refrigerator drawer. It turned out to be a winner! If you have a little leftover pasta or pizza sauce, you can throw it in the mix as well. If you don’t happen to have any chopped onion, don’t worry about it! Do refer to my notes under “Tips, Tricks and Ideas” for a tip on how to always have chopped onions on hand.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbl vegetable oil
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 2–3 oz. pepperoni, chopped
- 1–1/2 cups chopped frozen spinach
- 1 or 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups Beef Broth
- 1–2 Tbl Italian Seasoning
- 3/4 cup Ditalini or other small pasta shape
Instructions
- Saute the onions in the vegetable oil until glassy
- Add the ground beef, and saute until cooked through.
- Add the frozen chopped spinach and saute until thawed.
- Add the Pepperoni and tomatoes and stir for about a minute, to release the juices.

- Enjoy!

I’ve always loved cooking, and spent many years working on the food & beverage side of the hospitality industry, which served to increase my interest in food, wine and entertaining.
I love this recipe. What a delicious way to make an Italian soup with the normal ingredients I already have. Taste great and my kids love it!
What an amazingly easy idea for using ingredients that are already in my cabinets and fridge! And it looks delicious! Definitely need to try this one, though maybe this will go on my Fall recipes list.
