• Meanwhile, in another in a big saucepan brown the beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. When cooked, add the tomato and beans to the the meat and stir through.
• Combine the onion and vegetables to the cooked meat in one pot, add the stock and bring to the boil, turn down the heat and simmer for at least 40 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
