What Makes This Hamburger Stew So Good?
There are days when I make fancy food, and there are days when I just need to get dinner on the table with minimal fuss. This pressure cooker Hamburger Stew is one of those super easy ground beef recipes for those days when I need to cook quickly–but I also forgot to shop for anything. So what I end up doing is defrosting some ground beef and scrounging around in the freezer to see what vegetables I have lying around. This time when I made this Keto hamburger soup, I happened to have carrots, corn, and okra, which work really well together in this stew. But you could also use a package of frozen mixed vegetables and call it a day. I haven’t had much luck making Hamburger Stew with cauliflower, which disintegrates, and broccoli, which overcooks within that time frame. But other than that, I throw in whatever is lying around and it works.
Is This Really Keto Beef Stew?
You know I love to cook Keto recipes. But, just because this recipe can be made Keto-friendly, doesn’t mean you need to avoid it if you’re not following a Keto way of eating. This is one of those recipes with ground beef you can keep in your arsenal when you’re looking for things to cook. To make this a purely Keto recipe:
Corn. Omit the corn, or lessen the amount to half a cup and replace it with other vegetables like green beans etcCarrots. Omit the carrots, or reduce the amount to half a cup and replace them with a more Keto-friendly vegetable.

Tips And Tricks For Making Keto Beef Stew
Chicken Broth. The chicken broth base is for a depth of flavor.Cruciferous. Try to stay away from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli or cauliflower that will cook down to mush, but corn, carrots, green beans, okra, onion, etc. all do well in this recipe. Lemon Juice. Use the lemon juice last. It is for the okra to reduce the stickiness that comes from cooking okra.Extra Liquid. There is enough liquid in the vegetables and meat that I don’t use any extra liquid. It is easier to put a splash of water or stock in than to have to wait for the Instant Pot to reduce it on the saute method.
