Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground protein we use venison, but any ground protein would do
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cups sweet potatoes largely diced
- 3 cups rutabaga largely diced
- 3 cups red potatoes largely diced
- 3 cups carrots largely diced
- 1 ½ cups diced onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried sage
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 7 cups beef broth divided
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven, combine diced potatoes, rutabaga, carrots and 5 cups of beef broth.
- Bring to a boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, brown ground protein, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- In the same large saucepan begin to heat the onions and garlic, adding ½ tablespoon-1 tablespoon of oil if necessary. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon pepper and 1 tablespoon dried sage.
- Once the onions have softened (about 5 minutes), add butter.
- Melt over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, stir in the flour, making a roux.
- Slowly add in remaining beef broth, ½ cup at a time, stirring the whole time, bringing to a boil before you add more broth.
- Once the broth has been fully incorporated, slowly add the onion mixture to other root vegetables.
- Stir in the ground protein and allow everything to come up to temperature. Add additional salt or pepper as needed.
