Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 large russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, diced

- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- ½ cup heavy cream

- Add herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all the flavors before closing the lid.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
- About 30 minutes before serving, stir in heavy cream. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Once done, ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve warm with crusty bread.
