Return the cooked ground beef to the pot and mix thoroughly.

Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 9

Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and simmer for another 5-7 minutes until they are heated through.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaf, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed.
