For a richer flavor, try browning the ground beef with a tablespoon of olive oil and a clove of minced garlic. Feel free to substitute other vegetables your family enjoys, such as zucchini, green beans, or corn. If you prefer a thicker stew, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added flavor and visual appeal.

Transfer the browned ground beef to the bottom of a slow cooker. Layer the cabbage, broccoli, potatoes, onion, carrots, and peas in the slow cooker, one on top of the other. This layering helps distribute the flavors evenly.
