This isn't very fancy, but it is quite tasty and easy to prepare. No idea what the "name" is...it's more about throwing whatever you have around into the pot!
Chop: carrots, celery, onion, zucchini, green beans (prefer fresh if possible, otherwise frozen and I just snap in half) garlic, parsley, salt and pepper to taste
1 can plum tomatoes and juice (or fresh cut up into chunks...if so you'll need to add a bit of water)
1 lb ground beef
2 tbsps olive oil
1 cup beef bullion if you don't have beef stock
Brown beef in oil, remove meat and add all veggies and garlic until tender, add beef, tomatoes, liquid bullion/broth, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil then simmer covered for about 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours.
It's hearty and cheap. Goes well with a thick crusted bread. Brew...you can recommend the beer
